From the time that we are children we see leadership in action. A gutsy young child decides that she will be the captain of the kickball game; she stands up proudly and takes control.

What qualities make up “the action of leading a group of people or an organization”? One way to find out is to observe the qualities possessed by leaders themselves.

The word “leadership” can evoke a variety of mental images; the president of a nation, an army general, a CEO, school principal, or the captain of the football team.
