Leadership is like beauty; it’s hard to define, but you know it when you see it.
Warren Benn

Peter Drucker
In the past, it was often viewed as an exclusive club into which people (men) were born; it was about being at the top of a hierarchy, and thus responsible for providing the answers to whatever challenges emerged. The ability to lead is a crucial ‘must have’ capability for all who lead a team, a function, a project, a business. It is not a desirable quality, but a crucial ability, that makes the difference between success and failure. Leadership is part of the human condition. Mankind is a social animal, most comfortable in groups, and where there are groups, there must always be those who will or can lead.

Jim Rohn
