       What Is A True Leader

       What Is A True Leader?
       Leadership is the capacity to influence others
       through inspiration motivated by a passion,
       generate by a vision, produced by a conviction,
       ignited by a purpose.
       P eter F. Drucker, one of our generation's foremost
       thinkers and authorities on the subject of
       #leadership and management, stated, "There may
       be "born leaders,' but there are surely far too few
       to depend on them. Leadership must be learned
       and can be learned..... '#leadership personality,'
       '#leadership style,' and '#leadership traits' do not
       exixt.
       Leadership Is More Than Influence
       A popular definition of #leadership is that
       "#leadership is influence." In spite of the fact the
       #leadership does involve the component of
       influence, I believe that this is an incomplete
       description because it does not distinguish what
       kind of influence or the source or cause of that
       influence.
       True Leadership Is Marked By Others' Willful
       Submission Of Their Authority To Yours.
       T here are many people, past and present, who
       have influenced others using threats and violence,
       but we don't call that true #leadership. We call it
       manipulation, oppression, or dictatorship. Nero,
       hitler, and Idi Amin were all influential. They
       exerted their wills over people, but they were not
       leaders in the true sense.
