Leadership

Leadership as defined by Merrian-Webster dictoinary:

  Definition of LEADERSHIP

1: the office or position of a leader

2: capacity to lead

3: the act or an instance of leading

4: leaders - the party leadership


We see leadership in action everyday and the action is not necessarily in a management or lead position.
The role can be filled by anyone that has a positive influence on another person. A co-worker can encourage another employee in helping on a difficult project. Communities as a group demonstrate leadership in efforts to improve their neighborhoods. Leadership in religious activities can provide positive direction in faith. 
 
Leadership as defined - the act or instance of leading - is not a position, it can be a moment in time. 
 
Examples - Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Rosa Parks.  They demonstrated their leadership by their actions.
