What comes to mind when you hear the word leadership? Do you
think of international or national figures like Golda Meir, Lee
Iacocca, Bill Clinton, Martin Luther King Jr., Mohandas Gandhi,
Nelson Mandela, or General Colin Powell? Our brains somehow
immediately translate the word leadership to mean leader.
You probably just did the same thing. You probably imagined a
company president, a Prime Minister, your professor, your
supervisor at work, or the person standing at a podium with a
gavel. However, the premise of leadership is a relational
process of people working together to accomplish change or to
make a difference that will benefit the common good. In other
words, leadership is about relationships. And you can be part of
the leadership process, whether as a formal leader or as an
active, committed group member
(Susan R. Komives, 1988).
