Leadership is defined by the dictionary as «to guide a group of people or an organisation.» But it's not quite that easy. The entire performance of the company depends on leaders at every level of the organisational structure. Executing the company's vision (or, in certain circumstances, revising and improving it) and establishing the tone and culture for that particular organisation are key components of effective leadership. Planning and organising, securing resources, keeping an eye out for and correcting mistakes are all aspects of leadership. Leadership is about inspiring others to collaborate and work together to accomplish a common goal, sometimes with other teams as well.
