Glendora Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Nov. 17

In these days of chaos, misdirection, and uncertainty leadership is even more important than ever before, but will the right leadership step forward and will they feel safe in doing so and more importantly will leadership be accepted?

For leadership to be successful subordinates must also show leadership by educating themselves and take responsibility.  There is no value or respect in things in life unless an investment is made.

There are several ways to define leadership.  Experts have tried to define leadership using several aspects. A process that influences other people to achieve an objective and guides the company in a way to make it more coherent and cohesive is called leadership. You can also define leadership as a process of leading people in the right direction (or what seems to be the right direction) in order to achieve the goals that are set out. Leaders apply leadership attributes such as values, knowledge, and skills to implement this process in any organization. Leadership ensures that the organization works successfully and accomplishes the desired goals. Leadership is also defined as a process that can have a positive impact on others (or it should be). It motivates people to excel in the field they are working.

Leadership does not mean yelling at your followers to accomplish certain tasks. If you are the boss of a company that does not mean you will have leadership qualities. Leadership encourages and fosters its followers to want to accomplish high goals. Thus, leadership will be aptly defined as a process that encourages the followers to achieve their objectives. You can also define leadership as an action that directs the followers to lead a respectable and honorable life. Leadership qualities can be an inborn quality; however, it can also be developed gradually through education and self-study. Leadership can also be defined as learnership as it is a continuous learning process. Some scholars have defined leadership as an ability to inspire other people with a dream.

Behavioral theory of leadership defines leadership in terms of relation and behavior of leaders towards their followers. Some leaders are people oriented while some are task oriented. Accordingly, there is participative leadership and directive relationship. Leadership can also be defined as a process that cultivates and nurtures later generation of leaders. Leadership is about awakening the persistence and passion among its followers to get the desired result.

Some experts have defined leadership as an ability to transform dream into reality.  Leadership does not mean just imparting instructions to its followers but also striving hard to implement and achieve the desired goals. Leadership is a process that persuades people to do the right thing for a better future (hopefully). Leadership is a process in which one person encourages, inspires, and motivates others to work for the betterment of society (again hopefully).

Your actions should motivate people to do more and then become more. It can also be defined as the ability of a senior to persuade his or her subordinates’ action to implement a course of action. Leadership directs people to inculcate qualities that will make them good citizens of the country. Leadership defines a clear vision for the company and capacity to translate it to reality. Leadership is like a 2-way street. You should have respect for seniors as well as your juniors. Leadership persuades people to go where they do not want to go necessarily but they ought to go. Leadership is a process that makes sure that his followers accomplish the task Leadership is also defined as a set of actions that are implemented in order to create a friendly work environment.
