(1) What Is Leadership?

The meaning of leadership can be complex and multifaceted, but in general, it refers to the
ability to influence, motivate, and guide others towards a common goal. Leadership can take many
forms, and it's not always about being in a formal position of authority. Rather, it's about using your
unique skills and qualities to inspire and guide others. It's often said that leaders are born, not
made, but I think this is a myth - leadership can be learned and developed over time.

pressure and social expectations that can make it hard to keep to their own values and goals.
