"Leadership is a social process that influences others’ choice to be their best while achieving the mission."
Kevin Kruse of Forbes writes, “I guess technically a leader could use social influence to just organize the efforts of others, but I think leadership is about maximizing the effort. It’s not, ‘Hey everyone, let’s line up and get to the top of that hill someday.’ But rather, ‘Hey, see that hill? Let’s see how fast we can get to the top…and I’ll buy the first round for anyone who can beat me up there.’ “
So what do you think of my definition of leadership? Leadership is a social process that influences others’ choice to be their best while achieving the mission.
