A. Nature Leadership
Before discussing further what is
leadership and how to be effective leaders, we need to know what is the meaning
of leadership itself. Leadership has become a very interesting topic of
historians and philosophy since ancient times. Since then experts have offered
350 definitions of leadership. One expert concluded that "Leadership is
one of the easiest phenomena in observation but became one of the most elusive"
(Richard L. Daft, 1999). Defining leadership is a complex and difficult
problem, because of the nature of leadership itself is very complex. However,
the development of science today has brought a lot of progress so that an
understanding of leadership becomes more systematic and objective.
