A broad buzzword thrown around so much by every organization everywhere that it has essentially lost all meaning. (i.e. solution in the IT field.) It is normally used by organizations to weed out people who don't think they have 'it'. True leadership is actually an excercise in bullshitting. The amount of bullshit a person can spew back about what leadership truly is, is the best measure of leadership.

A broad buzzword thrown around so much by every organization everywhere that it has essentially lost all meaning. (i.e. solution in the IT field.) So what is leadership now?

It is nothing but a word. Mostly used by organizations to weed out people who don't think they have 'it'. This word-type of 'Leadership' is measured in how much bullshit a person can spew to back about what they think 'leadership' truly is.

"The way I it, leadership does not begin with power but rather with a compelling in vision or goal of excellence."

Being second guessed by every smart little twat with a mouth.

Leadership refers to the quality that a person or collection of people hold in which they command respect and are highly influential. However, leadership has shown to be highly overrated, in accordance with the numerous scandals and failures among leaders themselves. Leadership is frequently questionable and should be critically evaluated. Some psychologist groups argue that the "born leader" also has a lot in common with people who suffer from narcissistic personality tendencies.

This is the process of making people do exceedingly better by physically inserting a fist into anothers rectum, usualy this help is prvided in the form of a Brackov propelled fist.

Leadership is nature's way of removing morons from the productive flow.

Leadership is the spiritual quest for direction and purpose. Leadership is the need in the human spirit which creates purpose and direction for ones self and for others.

noun: An umbrella term meaning, or relating to, being involved in lame/pointless/time-wasting/tax-dollar-wasting/tuition-dollar-wasting "opportunities" at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. Those who participate in "leadership" often participate in one of six organizations that have different names, but are actually all the same thing. They also find themselves lacking in the friends department - they are losers and have nothing else better to do. Often times you'll find a "leader" as just the opposite as Webster defines. In fact, leadership is super exciting for these "leaders" that they often get a leadership boner (see "leadership boner"). They become so fully torqued at the word "leadership" that they pop a juicy, raging boner. This boner stays raging until they have been properly sucked off and/or banged. Unfortunately for them, "leadership" is women repellent. The leadership boner almost never reverts to the flaccid state. In a nutshell, "leadership" is a word used to give false credit and affirmations to lame college students as well as the mentally retarded.
