According to John Maxwell; “Leadership is more? if not much more ? Influence, rather than position.”

From this quote, we can understand that leadership has more to do with the ability of an individual to influence his environment in order to bring about change. At this particular point it is also important to criticize the type of change drawn by a leader.

Since leaders deal specifically with changes in the environment, this change can be directed either positively or negatively. Some will be able to use their influential skill to lift up their society, whether it is politically, socially or financially for instance, while others will be destroying it.

Some historical leader’s figures that undeniably brought a positive change, and continue to inspire the world at large are namely, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King and so forth…

In an attempt of understanding where leaders come from, it can be argued that some are born leaders, while others learn to become leaders.

In fact, being a leader recommends having some characteristic or personality traits that will enable them to perform they role of leaders, but also continue nurturing this ability.

It all starts with a vision, leaders are those capable of seeing beyond the limitations of the physical eye. Great leaders must have a vision that positively impacts not only themselves but the world around. They must believe in it and must be ready to pay the sacrifice…
