What is leadership? The dictionary describes a leader as a "person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country" and leadership as "the state or position of being a leader". 

Is the dictionary definition of leadership accurate? Real leadership is not just a position, but a learned set of skills that allow individuals to effectively influence others towards achieving a common goal. The challenge is finding the right skillsets for leadership.
