  I have heard it said too that leadership is the ability to influence people and that it is not restricted to an assigned title in the hierarchy of an organization. Sometimes, a person not in the highest position may have a stronger influence at the one at the top, and is therefore the real leader. A biblical example would be David (before he was crowned king) versus King Saul.

  I have also thought about Dr Ward’s definition of leadership as the ability to influence people towards a core vision. Unfortunately, that core vision could be noble or evil, and that leader’s methods to influence people may be upright or deceptive. For Christian leadership, we have to consider the ethical flavor too.

  My understanding of leadership has been that if you’re leading a company, or group of people you’re leader, never thought of the ways mentioned in this lecture

  My understand of Leadership was the ability of someone to guide, teach and influence others. Mostly my experience with leadership was Military and Sports influenced. The ability to achieve a common goal by demonstrating confidence and knowledge in either subject matter or mission.
