Leadership Definitions

I have heard a lot of great descriptions of what leadership is. All of them are true. Leadership can be a complex thing to truly define and describe. However, I wonder if one of the simplest ways to describe leadership is simply, "doing the right thing".

Every action we take sets a precedent and has an effect. So simply doing the right thing may be the most pure description of leadership. Doing the right thing sets a precedent not only for ourselves but for others. Doing the right thing sets a course. Doing the right thing helps establish the right thing as the norm.

I think everyone who simply does the right thing is being a leader.
