Leadership is defined as influencing others to achieve goals and maintain solidarity within a group. A leader helps a community make decisions, direct activities, and represent the group internally and externally. Leaders need followers to accomplish results, even if the leader is poor, the followers will not follow for long. Virtues are the foundation of good leadership, including prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, industry, loyalty, responsibility, cheerfulness, generosity, and magnanimity. These virtues help a leader make good decisions, overcome challenges, and serve their community.

2. Leadership is the art of influencing people to get the
necessary support and cooperation in community affairs
to maintain solidarity among people. It is the ability to
influence others towards desired goals. It also means
"doing the right things."

3. A leader is one who helps/facilitates communities of
people, takes risks and envisions a better future for
his group, encourages commitment and helps people
move ahead along a path to accomplish a goal. Leaders
are necessary to make decisions, to direct community
activities and to speak for the community both in relation
to its internal organization and its outside relationships.

4. A leader has followers. As Peter Drucker pointed out,
a leader is someone who has followers. Even poor
leaders have followers, but usually not for long.
That is because the goal of leadership is to get results.
