What is Leadership?“Leadership is the process of persuasion or example by

which an individual (or leadership team) induces a group to pursue objectives held by the leader or shared by the leader and his or her followers.” John Gardner

Leadership is influence- Nothing more, nothing else.” The ability of the leader to influence others, both their followers and those outside their circle.” John Maxwell

Leadership is about passing onto others the knowledge of success and accepting greater pride in knowing that you played a key part in someone else’s success.

Consuelo Kickbush, LTC

Servant Leadership“True Leadership emerges from those

whose primary motivation is a desire to help others”

Robert GreenleafServing others- employees, customers, and

community- as the number one priority
