Leadership Definition: A deep dive into defining leadership.

So, how do we establish a leadership definition?

To define leadership, we must frame it. To frame it, we identify defining characteristics.

1. Focuses on influence and communication to deliver results;

2. Is built on trust with those who follow;

3. Incites motivational action towards a vision; and

4. Implies removal of obstacles to provide success as final step for leadership definition.

These characteristics are key. While there may be others, these are the ones I have found to provide a framework of understanding leadership.

So, my leadership definition is as follows:

Leadership, while focusing on influential communication, motivational techniques, obstacle removal, and team trust, delivers a specific successful result that aligns with a predefined vision or objective.

Leadership is necessary in all organizations to deliver quality change during competitive times. Leaders may want to establish a leadership definition within their own context to find a version that applies to the team environment. However, looking at the characteristics of leadership will aid in providing the definition one pursues. Visit www.bleadersedge.com for more leadership information. Thanks.
