What Is Leadership?
by Kevin Kruse of Forbes
The fastest and most inspiring training ever invented for future business leaders and entrepreneurs.
Kevin Cruse defines leadership as:
Leadership is a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others, towards the achievement of a goal.
Notice key elements of this definition:
Leadership stems from social influence, not authority or power
Leadership requires others, and that implies they don’t need to be “direct reports”
No mention of personality traits, attributes, or even a title; there are many styles, many paths, to effective leadership
It includes a goal, not influence with no intended outcome
