Definition of Leadership:
I believe that leadership needs to begin with Vision – the ability to see the possibilities of what can be achieved and enable others with the power and resources to get there. Next, remember that one of the most important things we can do is to develop new leaders, not new followers. And finally, do what you say you'll do, when you say you'll do it...consistently.
