“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead

Leadership is critical and essential in everything we do. We see leadership in action everywhere — in our homes; in sports; at work; in our businesses; in our communities; in our countries; and globally in the world.

Recently, I read an article by Kevin Kruse on What Is Leadership?

Kevin, author of Great Leaders Have No Rules, defines leadership as follows:

Leadership is a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others, towards the achievement of a goal.

He goes on to point out the following key elements of this definition:

  • Leadership stems from social influence, not authority or power
  • Leadership requires others, and that implies they don’t need to be “direct reports”
  • No mention of personality traits, attributes, or even a title; there are many styles, many paths, to effective leadership
