Define Leadership - What is leadership?

Leadership is not an end in itself, but a means to bring out the best in people, to inspire and motivate them to commit their energies, skills and talents to delivering the organisation’s vision.

Focus on the future and people

As leadership is focused on the Vision, it is focused on delivering a new future.

Leadership seeks opportunities for individuals and the organisation to be a success in the future.  

That future success may however mean dealing firstly with difficult situations that threaten survival today. In tackling those threats, leadership still seeks to create the better future and seize opportunities.

Leadership aims to empower and harness the capability and potential of people who will implement the vision by delivering successful change.

Leadership is all about behaviours that take the people and organisation to a new future.
