Leadership

• Leadership is a process by which a person
  influences others to accomplish an objective and
  directs the organization in a way that makes it
  more cohesive and effective.
• Leaders carry out this process by applying their
  leadership characters, such as beliefs, values,
  ethics, character, knowledge, and skills.

Leadership vs. Lingdao

• Although your position as a manager, team leader
  etc. gives you the authority to accomplish
  certain tasks in the organization, this power
  does not make you a leader it simply makes you
  the boss.
• Leadership makes the followers want to achieve
  high goals, rather than simply bossing people
  around.
