The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.
Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.
A leader's job is not to do the work for others, it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.
Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.
Leadership is influence.
Leadership is... to make sure you never limit the idea or opportunity.
To me, leadership is about encouraging people. It's about stimulating them. It's about enabling them to achieve what they can achieve - and to do that with a purpose.
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.
