Leadership has nothing to do with personal attributes. You can be a leader in your workplace, your neighborhood, or your family, all without having a title. Similar to the point above, just because you have a C-level title, doesn’t automatically make you a “leader.” We often stress the fact that you don’t need a title to lead. Leadership has nothing to do with titles. Hopefully you find it there, but there are no guarantees. Leadership doesn’t automatically happen when you reach a certain pay grade. Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy of a company. Too many talk about a company’s leadership referring to the senior most executives in the organization. We've written several books on leadership, and yet it's a rare thing to actually pause to define leadership. Such a simple question, and yet it continues to vex some of the best thinkers in business.
