Definition of Leadership: I define leadership as the ability to move a group forward as theur strive to achieve a common goal. Leadership involves strong communication, a high level of trust and a distince willingness to put oneself out there to take risks. A great leadership is a person who is so passionate about a specific goal that others can see that enthusiasm in the leader's daily actions as they put others before oneself. When a leader sincerely demonstrates this fervor, I believe it is inspiring and motivating to the group at hand.
