Leadership refers to the ability to influence, inspire and guide people. It is an act of a motivating group of people to achieve a common goal. A leader is one who pushes followers up to their maximum potential and synergizes their energies and efforts towards accomplishing goals and objectives. In leadership, the role of the leader is to provide clear direction to their followers and motivate them to accomplish the task efficiently and effectively. This ability of a good leader binds the whole group together.
