Leadership is the art of getting people 

moving in the same direction with a 

common purpose and goal.

It is being able and prepared to

 inspire others and is based upon ideas

 (both original and borrowed) that are effectively 

communicated to others in a way 

that engages them enough to 

act as the leader wants them to act.

A leader inspires others to act while simultaneously 

directing the way they act.

A leader must be personable enough

 for others to follow their orders, 

and must have the critical thinking 

skill to know the best way to use the resources 

at an organization's disposal.

To sum it up, leadership provides direction

 in the face of uncertainty and acts 

to unify the efforts of multiple individuals

 toward common goals.
