I had a great conversation yesterday with Drew Dudley who pointed out that we use the word "leadership" without a clear definition.
Companies define what leadership means to them. The media points up 'leaders'. But if someone were to ask you what you mean if you call yourself a leader - or if you were seeking to offer leadership - what would you say?
It's really about the values that define us.
For some, this definition is going to be about being in charge. For others, this is going to mean status or title.
For me, it's about community and the values I believe are necessary for good ideas to be encouraged and spread. Over the coming months, I'm going to define leadership in more concrete terms for myself so I could answer the qustion above. But first, I'm asking - what does it mean to you?
