In many organizations, there's a lack of a clear, unified definition of leadership.

This leads to different types of leaders being promoted, some admired and respected, others feared and disliked, even within the same company culture.

This inconsistency arises because the people promoting these leaders have different interpretations of what leadership means.

Without a clear definition, organizations end up with a mix of leadership styles, creating confusion and potentially toxic work environments.

The key to resolving this issue is defining what leadership means in your organization.

A leader should be someone who sees potential for improvement, rallies people towards a better vision, plans and works to realize that vision, while prioritizing people.

Reflect on what leadership means to you and in your organization. How do you define a leader?

I define leadership as qualities like integrity, passion and to have abilities such as vision and wisdom which would make a good leader.

Well, let's address the elephant in the room! Leadership is there for simple purpose - to make the company more efficient. You may be loved by people, but if the bottom line is always questionable, such leadership has little value. Leaders aren't there to be loved or entertain people.
Leadership is often a reflection of many things. When a situation is difficult you may have to make tough decisions. That won't get you loved, but they have to be made all the same. Under more pleasant circumstances you don't have to push people, so it's much easier to be liked this way.
