Leadership is a hot topic today. An online search found 22 million website listings for the word "leadership." Why? Because good leadership gets things done. But the quality of leadership determines the difference between a team passionate about what they're doing versus one that is following orders

 Thousand of books have been written about leadership. According to Dr Myles Monroe, defining leadership would be the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.

 To be a leader, you must first have a reason to lead. For some it is to improve their business, achieve their goals, create something and for some, to improve something

There are many definitions to leadership and it all depends from the angle being viewed. According to Warren Bennis, “managers are people who do things right, while leaders are people who do the right thing.”

 
Leaders manage change while manager’s control processes. We need to decide into then who we will be followers or leaders.
