Leadership is a state of mind….leadership is about vision, spirit, and character; getting diverse individuals to work together as a team it is said Good leaders are made not born.
If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader.
Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience To inspire a group of personnel into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things a leader must BE, KNOW, and, DO.
These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and study.

Leadership is simply knowing what to do, acting upon it, and driving others to do it.

The best definition of LEADERSHIP doesn't exist.
There is not one agreed upon definition in the world despite how much leadership has been studied and written about.
On the other note, a simple definition of leadership is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.
This definition of leadership, I think, captures the leadership essentials of inspiration and preparation.
Effective leadership is based upon ideas, but won't happen unless those ideas can be communicated to others in a way that engages them.
Put even more simply, the leader is the inspiration and director of the action.
He is the person in the group that possesses the combination of personality and leadership skills that makes others want to follow his direction.
