What is Leadership?

Hello everyone!! I want to start by apologizing for missing my post last week. I was in San Antonio helping my girlfriend move in to her new place. 

I want to share with you all my latest post for Xenfi on Responsive Web Design. I will also be publishing another article for myEdu soon, where I give some tips to help students choose a major, so stay tuned. 

Let me cut to the chase, the topic here today leadership. For me it is such an interesting topic because so many people claim to be leaders or dream to become great leaders one day.

What exactly is leadership?

I was reading an article on Forbes last week, where they tried to define leadership by summarizing quotes of the world’s greatest leaders. The definition they came up with for me is perfect, “Leadership is a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others, towards the achievement of a goal.”

Great leaders are the ones that can bring the best of any individual they work with. To quote Padmasree Warrior, a great female leader and Cisco’s Chief Technology and Strategy Officer, “Being a leader is not about providing all the answers. It is stepping back and letting your team shine more than you.”

So, I am going to leave you all with this great interview with Padmasree Warrior by Moira Forbes.

Have a great weekend everyone and see you next time.. Tchau!
