I found it interesting that according to Northouse (2016), Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. To me, ‘process’ implies two things: that this thing called leadership happens over time, and that it involves relationship. I believe that it is impossible to influence someone’s behaviour …
According to the Leadership written by Northouse, the definition of leadership is “Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal.” This idea opened my eye because I never think what leadership is and vaguely I thought leadership is one side action from leaders and leaders require …

I really enjoy the way Northouse describes leadership as a process and not a trait. As a process, leadership can be observed in …

I, personally, found the Servant Leadership survey very insightful because it caused me to look at certain principles of servant leadership that I wouldn’t necessary look at. These three are: building community, foresight, and persuasion. Community …
