Leadership is both process and property. As a process, leadership is the use of noncoercive influence to direct and coordinate the activities of group members to meet a goal. As a property, leadership is the set of characteristics attributed to those who are perceived to use such influence successfully. Influence is the ability to affect the perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, motivation, and/or behaviors of others.

Leadership and management IS not the same, although, they are similar. Individuals may be placed in a leadership role by an organization due to longevity, education, or other reasons, but it is important to note that the job position does not necessarily guarantee that the individual is a leader. An individual may be a leader and manager or just a manager or they can be neither. Organizations need both, managers and leaders in order to be effective and productive.
