Quote:
It’s usually easier to say if a person is or is not a good leader than to articulate why you feel the way you do. We know how an effective leader makes us feel, but explaining what they do to achieve this is much more difficult.
There are all types of leaders, and they all derive their leadership “power” in different ways. Some of these sources of power are highly effective and motivating. Others leave us feeling dull, uninspired, or oppressed.
Exactly what causes the difference is something that people have been studying for a long time. And, while there are still very different views on what makes a great leader, there are two things we know for sure:
Leadership is much more than being put in charge.
Leadership is a role you choose.
