Week 1 – Discussion 1

Leadership has been described from various perspectives and defined by different concepts. Based on the descriptions of leadership provided in this week’s lecture and readings, present a personal definition of leadership and explain why your definition is appropriate and relevant to the practice of leadership today. Provide an example of a current leader who embodies this definition. Explain how this individual is a relevant example of your personal definition of leadership.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. Have they thoroughly defined leadership? Have they included all of the important elements relevant to the practice of leadership today? Do you agree or disagree with their personal definition of leadership?
