Leadership

Here's a good school...

"Leading is the process of influencing people toward achieving an objective."

Key elements?

1. Motivating - energizing people to overcome major obstacles toward achieving a vision

2. Communicating - providing direction and alignment, generating understanding about the direction

3. Aligning People - getting a relevant group of people to share a common understanding of a vision

...So much different from positional leadership, the old school.

Leading based on rank - 'tis the lowest level of leadership. At best, you get compliance but nothing more!
