Indicated that over one-third of all executives are followers in some fashion. Yet, rarely did any of the executives. However, this view ignores the fact that leaders need followers to accomplish their goals. Followers determine their commitment to the organization (and therefore their motivation) by reflecting on how hard.

One instructor stood up with a question I get almost everywhere I go: “Is everyone a leader?” The answer of course is yes and no (how’s that for a politically correct answer?).

It all depends on how you define the word “leader.” If you define it in the traditional fashion—that a leader is someone with a position, in charge of a group of people in an organization—then, the answer is no, in my opinion. Not everyone and certainly not every student is to become the president, the chairman, the CEO, or the key leader of a large team of people. Most will never occupy a top spot in a flow chart. Perhaps only 10 percent of the population will. I also hear loads of excuses as to why people just can’t be a leader.

They are varied, but I’ve found one common thread in them. All of them fail to embrace what we at consider to be an authentic definition for. This leads to the following excuses for why people cannot lead. Excuse One: I can’t lead. I don’t have a position of authority. This excuse stems from the traditional definition of leadership. It equates leadership with a position and with authority.

If we define leadership in a different manner, it opens up an entirely new perspective for students. What if leadership was more about people pursuing a “calling” in life; a calling with which we will influence others in its fulfillment?

What if it had more to do with finding an area of strength—and in using that strength, we’ll naturally influence others in a positive way? We have chosen this thought to define leadership. We believe it is simply using our influence for a worthwhile cause. We also believe influence and authority are not one in the same. Your supervisor can give you a position—and with it comes authority. That position enables you to force people to do what you want them to do. This is not leadership.
