As we approach the 21st century, leadership is becoming:
– A process entirely distinct from management
– A process in which other people besides managers can be leaders
– A relationship in which the focus is on the interactions of both leaders and followers instead of focusing on only the behaviors and /or traits of the leader
– A relationship that aims at mutual purposes rather than just the wishes of the leader
– A process in which people intend real changes as opposed to a process in which they achieve any goal
– A relationship in which only influence behaviors are acceptable rather than one wherein all legitimate behaviors (authority and other forms of coercion included) are acceptable
