• Leadership is the process of influencing people to act and/or think in a specific way by means of providing: direction, purpose, and motivation.
• I chose to define leadership in such a way for several reason. First off, the definition states that leadership is a process because it requires the leader to take action. Therefore, I believe that a laissez faire style of leadership would not constitute as leadership, because the leader is not taking action.
