What does it mean to be a leader?

Think about a leader you admire.What are their special qualities?

So...give us your definition of leadership

Here are some of my favorites…

“Managers have subordinates.Leaders have followers.”

Murray Johnson

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more

and become more, you are a leader.”

John Quincy Adams

“A leader establishes a sense of command, articulates a vision,

creates forward momentum and brings everyone along for the ride.”

Jack Lund

“Managers do things right.Leaders do the right thing.”
