Leadership

Scholars have debated the definition of leadership for centuries and no one clear definition stands above the rest.  One becomes a leader by choice, by default, by selection. Leadership may be granted on the basis on one's knowledge, authority, position, realm of influence, range of control, personality.

So if you want to be a leader - how do you become one?

More importantly, how do you become a person of being a leader?

and is a leader always ethical or admirable?

We'll explore the topic of leadership in the next few posts, but to start off - consider these leaders and what they offer to the field of leadership.  Think about how they became leaders, what they led, what they accomplished, and last, how do they further your understanding of what makes a leader.
