In this workshop I seek to define the words leader and leadership. This is crucial because if our presuppositions are flawed our understanding of leadership will be flawed. This leads to frustration and too often failure. Leadership is not just management writ large. Rather leaders have a specific role to play in every organization without which the organization will never achieve its greatest potential.
