Leadership is not simply directing a group of people to achieve a common goal, as a dictator would do rather a leader more 'guides' a group of people to want to achieve a common goal. More specifically, Leadership is being able to construct a common goal, plan a process to achieve this goal, and executing the plan to achieve the goal and doing so through guidance and setting the example. The common misconception of leadership is that they don't need to work rather they delegate who does the work. In order for any leader to gain followers he/she needs to lead by example. That means first saying what needs to be done and how to do it and then actually doing what you said.
