2. What is Leadership ?
“The action of leading a group of people or an organization .”
That’s how the Oxford Dictionary defines
leadership.
In simple words, Leaders motivate others to
achieve something new and better.
Interestingly, leaders do what they do to pursue
innovation, not as an obligation.
They measure success by looking at the team’s
achievements and learning.
