Authentic Leadership
the problem
       Too Much Emphasis on ‘Great’
       Leaders, Rather Than Leadership




Mahatma Gandhi   Richard Branson   Jack Welch   Bill Gates

                 There’s only one…
“The main body of leadership literature
   focuses on the characteristics of leaders.
      The underlying assumption is that
  leadership is something we do to other
                   people...

...but in our view, leadership should be seen
     as something we do with other people.

 Leadership must always be viewed as a
 relationship between the leader and the
                  led.”
