Introduction

Understanding 'Leadership' To begin with a word, called 'leadership', a lot of ideas have been drawn out from philosophers or leaders; such as, "Ability of an individual to influence, motivate and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization (House et al 2004 p 184)" or " The behavior of an individual.. Directing the activities of a group toward a shared goal(Hemphill & Coons 1957 p7)". However, leadership from what I understand after doing some research is a word that describe how much a leader understand his/her team and be able to attract the team to keep their eyes on their tasks. He sets direction, builds an inspiring vision, and creates something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team. Leadership is dynamic, vibrant, and inspiring. The picture from 9GAG[4] is comparing how the business runs under the leading of a leader as a boss and a real leader. if you look into the details, the difference between the two pictures is when the Boss is leading, the facial expressions of the workers are more "forceful" and when there is the leader leading, the people behind the leader has some motivation which matches their facial expression to be more optimistic,

    There are many definitions of leadership. The Collins English dictionary defines leadership as “the leader(s) of a party or group.” Yet true leadership is much more than that. A leader can be the chief executive officer of an organization, or a first year employee who leads his or her team to success behind the scenes. A leader might lead through official authority and power, yet just as often great leaders lead through inspiration, persuasion and personal connections. Teaching others to be a leader is a daunting task within itself (Pankaew, 2013).…

    In my opinion, leadership is more than just someone who can enlist the aid of others to accomplish a specific task. It is a characteristic and a lifestyle of a person. True leadership is not displayed on days we feel like it. It is a constant display of ones actions to accomplish tasks and set an example for others to emulate. A leader is someone who can be turned to in the absence of knowledge or direction and will either have the answer or know where to get the answer.…

    Leadership is the capability to influence a person or a group to achieve many goals (Robbins, 2005). To elaborate, leadership is a complex process by which a person influences others to accomplish a mission, task, or objectives and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent by applying their leadership attributes such as values, ethics, knowledge, skills, and belief (Clark, 2000). Most importantly, not all leaders happen to be managers, and not all managers are leaders (Robbins, 2005). Even though one is positioned as a manager or a supervisor (he has the power to accomplish certain tasks within the organization) it does not necessarily mean he is a leader unless he makes people…
