Lecture Leadership: Enhancing the lessons of experience (4/e) – Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Leadership involves an interaction between the leader, the followers, and the situation. Leadership is a process in which leaders and followers interact dynamically in a particular situation or environment. Leadership is a broader concept than that of leaders, and the study of leadership must involve more than just the study of leaders as individuals. The study of leadership must also include two other areas: the followers and the situation.
