Leadership captures the essentials of being able and prepared to inspire others. Effective leadership is based upon ideas — both original and borrowed — that are effectively communicated to others in a way that engages them enough to act as the leader wants them to act. A leader inspires others to act while simultaneously directing the way that they act. They must be personable enough for others to follow their orders. They must have the critical thinking skills to know the best way to use the resources at an organization’s disposal. In business, leadership is linked to performance, and any leadership definition has to take that into account. Therefore, while leadership isn’t intrinsically linked to profit, those who are viewed as effective leaders in corporate contexts are the ones who increase their company’s bottom line. If an individual in a leadership role does not meet profit expectations set by boards, higher management, or shareholders, they may be terminated. While there are people who seem to be naturally endowed with more leadership abilities than others, anyone can learn to become a leader by improving particular skills. History is full of people who, while having no previous leadership experience, have stepped to the fore in crises and persuaded others to follow their suggested course of action. They possessed traits and qualities that helped them to step into roles of leadership. Another difference between leaders and managers is that leaders emphasize innovation above all else. Whereas a manager seeks to inspire their team to meet goals while following company rules, a leader may be more concerned with setting and achieving lofty goals — even at the expense of existing corporate structures. When a worker has a radical new idea for how to tackle an issue, a leader is likely to encourage that person to pursue the idea. Leaders often operate fairly independently. That allows them to tolerate a greater amount of chaos, so long as they believe it will be worth it in the end. However, the leader’s devotion to innovation can sometimes come at a cost. Chaos and high-pressure work environments can create interpersonal issues. Leaders can sometimes be so singularly focused on achieving lofty goals that they let interpersonal issues and employee welfare fall to the wayside.
