The word "leadership" can bring to mind a variety of images. For example:
  • A political leader, pursuing a passionate, personal cause.
  • An explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow.
  • An executive, developing her company's strategy to beat the competition.

Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization.Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way.
