If I have to define the word "LEADERSHIP", then I would say, "The Leadership is the way do the right thing at the right time for your followers". Tough Leadership is, completely subjective, but its foundation stems from one major thing. And that is, "The ability to establish a following among the other individuals."
Every leader has his or her own philosophies and strategies. Because the leadership methods will vary because of they often influenced by multiple factors. The factors like, "Globalisation, Digitisation, Frequently changing regulatory, Financial markets, Recruiting and Retaining the talents. Size of the company and the industry in which the business is based on" play the keys roles to coin every leader's own definition of the leadership.
So, in this generation, how can you define the leadership? Though everyone has their own ways to explain, what leadership means to them, let's focus on 15 of them.
