          Finally, To all my readers. As intended as it may seem, I believe you and I are kindred spirits, because I started my development reading hundreds of books in management and leadership and they have tremendously helped to be improve my perceptions of reality.

      LEADERSHIP

      Wikipedia's definition of leadership is:

      The process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task.

      "Leadership is the ability to see things as they are, to see things as

      better than they are and then to make them as you see it."

      Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen.

      A leader is a dealer in hope

      ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

      The U.S. Army says a leader must

      Be, Know, Do.

      The New York Fire Department says a leader is

      First in, last out.

      Lee Iacocca says

      A leader picks good people and sets the right priorities.

      Jesse Jackson says,

      "Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides.

      It must bring sides together."

      "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more

      and become more, you are a leader."

      ~ John Quincy Adams, Sixth President of the United States

      Leaders are not what leaders are. Leaders are what leaders do

      About the author

      Preface

        THERE ARE THOUSANDS of definitions of leadership and each year thousands of books and articles get published about leadership. Why another book?

        Leadership has been a curious subject for me for years. Amidst the bombardment of information, it made me rethink on several grounds. First leadership was observed and studied on a common ground; later management gurus sliced leadership into several pieces and objectively proved differences and variations from each other. Today they are rejoining the pieces to reinterpret leadership on holistic grounds. Leadership has evolved and our understanding of the subject is still evolving.

          This book is not just another extension of leadership verbatim. I know that there are thousands of books and articles published every year on the most sought-after subject in management- leadership. Thousands of jargon and terms are invented every year to elaborate an innovative style or variable style of leadership to complement the changing times.

          Terms like evolutionary leadership, transformational, change, innovative, collective leadership, strategic leadership, market leadership, team leadership, de-personalizing leadership, and so on and many are getting tied to this holistic bandwagon. Not surprisingly, people who research on the subject of leadership come up with new jargon every time adding a word from the dictionary and prefixing it with leadership. What you get is a new point of view, a new perspective that is highly refutable in management circles. This happens because the subject we are talking about is huge and everyone has a unique way of executing their leadership function; whether in the military, business or organizational or personal level.

          One point is especially certain- A vast awareness of the subject of leadership can help you to evolve your personal leadership style. There is no one style, personality profile, or interaction approach for effective leadership. Leaders do come in ‘all shapes and sizes’. Few can deny the effectiveness of leaders such as Golda Meir, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Meg Whitman, Dr. Martin Luther King, Lee Iacocca, Oprah Winfrey, Jack Welch, or Steve Jobs all of who differ significantly, and yet they all were successful. Each of us has different role models which we follow.

          Many people in leadership positions struggle with understanding what makes a great leader. Quality leadership is still in short supply despite billions of dollars being spent annually on leadership development. This book is my attempt to light up clarity among the confusion.

          We all know that nothing stays the same, but the rate of change in today's business world is unprecedented. We've seen the advent of global competition, rapid technological development, and widespread political change. The business world has moved from being relatively stable and simple to be increasingly dynamic and complex. Organizations now face new challenges and leaders must perform at superior levels in today's increasingly unpredictable situations.

          This new world requires a new set of leadership skills to ensure high performance and faster-delivered results. The question is: can we identify leadership and team
