Description
Leadership has been defined as "A process of social influence in which one person can enlist the help and support of others in the accomplishment of a common goal,". Some regard a leader as merely someone who is followed or directed by others, whereas others define leadership as "getting a group of people together to achieve a shared objective." Traits, situational interactions, and behaviors vary from culture to culture.
