Leadership: A process by which an individual influences others to accomplish a task and directs a group in a way that makes it better.
Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs a group in a way that makes it better. Leaders carry out this process by applying their skills and knowledge to affect the thoughts, feelings or behaviours of other individuals in the group.
Authority: The power or right to give out orders or to carry out certain tasks.
Leadership is different from authority, which is the power to give orders or carry out certain tasks. A person in a position of authority is not necessarily a good leader. In addition, not all good leaders are in positions of authority. For example, a manager or supervisor in a workplace may have the power to assign workers tasks or have responsibilities greater than others, but this power does not make them a good leader: it simply makes them the boss. Another example could be an army officer; the power to command others is simply attached to their rank, not necessarily to their leadership skills. Recognize that the military invests large amounts of effort to train their officers to be good leaders. A good leader is different in that it they make others want to achieve high goals, rather than simply follow orders.
Leadership, like any other skill, can be developed and acquired. Leading is hard work; it takes time, energy and determination. Even the best leaders are continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills.
