The nature of leadership is properly relational, its basic quality is to mobilize all those who are involved in this relationship, its authentic value lies in positive and creative success through an alliance with each other. The leadership is to build relationships of trust with its own work group in order to drive, to lead people towards the achievement of organizational goals, building opportunities for learning and growth, and remembering that the ultimate goal of leadership is to generate new leaders. Leadership is characterized by attention to relationships based on trust, by vision and motivation, by goals that are not only productive but also for personal and professional growth (for themselves and employees), is an exercise in consistency and concreteness, determination and decisiveness, listening and storytelling. The capacity for excellence is to be able to turn their followers into new leaders. In extreme synthesis, leadership is manifested, then, when the leader knows how to stimulate among colleagues and collaborators willing to look to their professional task from different perspectives, knows power awareness about the mission and vision of the organization, encourage them to reach higher performance standards, motivate them to go beyond self-interest, focusing on the goals of the group. And is asked to be empowering through some major behavior such as, for example, to ensure that employees receive timely and continuous information on organizational performance, make sure that employees can learn the knowledge and skills to contribute to organizational goals, give employees the power to make significant decisions. An "ethical" fundamental leadership profile is given by the credibility, which is closely related to another crucial element, trust, considered a real "glue" for relations If the leadership is a relationship of reciprocity, then the credibility is the element able to "make a difference". But, to engage in a process of building the credibility, the leader must know how to understand, to own and share a set of values with the whole organization, contributing positively to build a common ground within which is possible cooperation and comparison.
