One definition of a leader is “one who is followed by others.” Another is “one who has influence or control over others.” This is accomplished by force (including authority based on position) and charisma (people want you to lead them).
This implies that a leader is a person who expects others to follow. Or a person who is confident enough to seek to influence others. We're not talking good or bad leaders, or people who abuse their office of authority. Just making some generalizations.
This means that a leader has a fairly high sense of independence and autonomy. Not complete isolation (because how can people follow you if you are alone?). But the sense that they can rise from the lowest rank, where everything they do is an order from someone else.
Complete this at personal excellence and add your thoughts to extend it please.
