What is leadership?

The ability to lead and influence others, in order to achieve a common goal. By motivating and committing others to actions and responsibilities, the leader is the main responsible for a group to reach their objectives.

There are different skills or personal characteristics necessary to become a Leader. In my opinion the main characteristics are: good communication (speaking and listening), focus, ability to delegate, charisma, ability to adapt, persuasio, courage and decision making.    

However, there are different styles of leadership and different situations demand different attitudes from the leader. A good leader never thinks about him, he does it for the benefit of the group.

"The boss drives people; the leader coaches them. The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says "I"; The leader says "WE". The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, "GO"; the leader says "LET'S GO!" H. Gordon Selfridge
