2. What is
Leadership
Good leadership is difficult to define, but you know it when you
see it.
Being in leadership is like being a lady. If you have to tell people
you are, then you aren’t.
Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that
is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and
taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential.
