Du Brin (2001) cited that there were about 35,000 research articles, magazine

directions and orders.
• An act that causes others to act or respond in a shared direction.
• The art of influencing people by persuasion or example to follow a line of action.

organization in the accomplishment of its objectives (Bass 1990).

What is Leadership?

Leadership is “a process of social influence which one

person can enlist the aid and support of others in the
accomplishment of a common task’’.
For example, some understand a leader simply as somebody
whom people follow, or as somebody who guides or directs
others, while others define leadership as "organizing a group of
people to achieve a common goal’’. ’
Studies of leadership have produced theories involving traits,
situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and
values, charisma, and intelligence, among others.
