James MacGregor Burns Defines Leadership

“Leadership is acting – as well as caring, inspiring and persuading others to act – for certain shared goals that represent values – the wants and needs, the aspirations and expectations – of themselves and the people they represent. And the genius of leadership lies in the manner in which leaders care about, visualize, and act on their own and their followers’ values and motivations” – James MacGregor Burns, Leadership
