In business, as in other endeavours, the essence of leadership is positive Influence.
At its core, positive Influence is about inspiring people to take positive actions...where 'positive actions' means mean actions directed toward desired long-term goals.
In addition to the ability to inspire positive actions, a leader must have a pleasing personality (or at the very least an acceptable personality) in order to inspire other people to be motivated in positive ways...i.e., be motivated to take actions aimed at desired & shared goals.
Inspiring People and Influencing them to take positive Actions toward desired & shared Goals...toward a shared & vivid Vision.
