3. Leadership is the ability to establish a culture where people can
make contributions, use their unique talents, and feel that they
have been part of something bigger than they are.
Leadership is not:
• Playing a role.
• Acting a part.
• Wearing a uniform.
• Holding an office.
Leadership is:
• Caring about people and an
organization.
• Putting others’ needs ahead
of your own.
• Giving more of yourself
than just enough to get by.
• Working hard on the “dirty
work.”
