“Leadership is all about people. It is not about organizations. It is not about plans. It is not about strategies. It is about people motivating people to get the job done.” This quote by General Colin Powell describes what real leadership is all about–individual actions and interactions with others. In this course, we define leadership and the attributes, skills, and process of leadership. We also describe the core competencies necessary for an individual to be successful, which include honesty, integrity, forward thinking, competency, and inspiration.
