Document Summary

Leadership is the process of inspiring others to work hard to accomplish important tasks. The process of leadership is the use of non-coercive influence to direct and coordinate the activities of the members of an organized group toward the accomplishment of the objectives. As a property, leadership is the set of qualities or characteristics attributed to those who are perceived to successfully employ such influence. Expectations for success on the first attempt. Taking a long-term view while meeting short-term demands. Ability to get someone else to do something you want done or make things happen the way you want. Power should be used to influence and control others for the common good rather seeking to exercise control for personal satisfaction. Vision: a future that one hopes to create or achieve in order to improve upon the present state of affairs.
