What Is Leadership? (It's Not All About You!): How To Empower Any Organization

1. Central message: Leadership is not about power or control, but rather about the responsibility to create a participatory, innovative and flexible organization capable of responding to changes in the external environment. 2. Brief synopsis: Leadership is not the same as management per se. Rather it involves one's strategic vision for the organization and the need to create "ownership" of the organization and its mission by the employees. Control is not leadership. It is not about the power of "the boss!" but rather it is about the organization and the need to manage change through the creation of a participatory learning organization. Leadership also is not about fame, but rather the obligation to accomplish.
