It is also a power shared by all, for if we don,t lead others, we lead ourselves. When we understand the principles of leadership, there are at least three benefits. First, by applying what we learn, we can become better leaders. Second, we can make better decisions when choosing someone to follow. Lastly, by understanding the complexities of leadership, we will have greater respect for our leader. This will increase our compliance with their suggestions, increasing the benefits we receive. What is meant by leadership? To find out, let,s look through the eyes an American management consultant, Peter F. Drucker who is this to say, "Leadership is not magnetic personality--- that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people---that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person,s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person,s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations." ER -
