Leadership definitions
“Outcome driven.” Kotler (1990).
“Initiating and maintaining groups or organizations to accomplish group or organizational goals.” (Rost, 1991, p.59).
“A process whereby an individual influence’s a group of individuals to achieve a common goal.” (Northouse, 2016, p.6).
“Acts by persons which influence other persons in a shared direction.” (Seeman, 1960, p.53).
“When one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and
morality.” (Burns, 1978, p.83).
What it is to me?
Influencing a group of people on a global or domestic scale and leading them towards a goal, involving different behaviours, traits and
characteristics of the leader. Different variations of leadership are in the execution; coercive, for example, Hitler, and transformational, for example,
a charity leader.
