Leadership is the ability to see ahead, take courageous stands and inspire others, magical ability to persuade and inspire others.

Leadership happens between people in a particular situation or moment, it is a social process; leaders play roles for and with others , sometimes as hero or scapegoat looking for opportunities amidst these dynamics.
Leaders have to connect with people to become effective.
Leadership is context specific ie., context with which people are working.
Leaders can not transform their business environment, organisational culture, people and group dynamism in the way they hoped.
Leadership is subtle and situational. Leaders are real not wearing mask or pretense; uses all their humanity, intelligence, their emotion and intuition they play a role that suited them. Coming alive to the moment is also another ability i.e focusing on the people in front not the other pressures.
Leaders and followers are at times unclear, confusing and difficult but they need to be often engaging, stimulating, exciting and rewarding.

"Leaders command respect because they are real, passionate, hardworking and committed but not perfect."
