Absolutely. Leadership is about change. You do not need a leader to sit still or maintain a bureaucracy. Leadership is about change. It is about relationships. It's about moving people and organizations forward. I am afraid we over analyze and over think leadership. What stands in the way of people making leadership decisions is our choices. It takes time and hard work to build the relationships with others that produce change and improve the lives of people. It often means we must choose between what "we" want now or what can be accomplished over a period of time. Great leaders constantly are looking at the reality of the world around us and finding opportunity or danger. They then inspire us to make good decisions to meet that challenge. “The most basic aspects of leadership and change are a function of human nature.” Absolutely. Leadership is about change.
