Abstract

Most conventional books used for leadership education define leadership as exerting influence on others, claiming that leadership involves three elements: leader, followers, and situation. Many such books agree that leadership is a process involving influence, occurring in groups, and focusing on common goals.1 There is nothing wrong with this notion—except that it limits the concept of leadership to a professional setting in which one individual, the leader, directs, processes, and coordinates the members of an organization or community to achieve predefined goals.2 Such a notion omits a very important part of the real process: Leadership does not start with followers in a professional setting, but rather must be an internal process before it can become an external one.
