EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
In the realm of literature, leadership has been defined by many philosophers, intellectuals, researchers and leaders themselves differently. There are numerous definitions of leadership, focusing on different aspects of it. Stogdill (1974) said “There are almost as many definitions of leadership as there are persons who may have attempted to define the concept”. The attempt to define what is leadership has inspired the researchers for long (House, Hanges, Javidan, Dorfman, & Gupta, 2004), but there is not sufficient research from the perspectives of different cultures and context (Ellen, Glinow, & Ann, 1998). In this part of the paper, different key definitions of leadership have been analyzed. Finally based on different aspects of those definitions, the paper comes up with a new one. Merriam Webster dictionary defines leadership as “capacity to lead” while Oxford Dictionary Online puts leadership as “the set of characteristics that make a good leader”. Both the dictionaries put leadership as capacity or set of characteristics that would enable a person to lead. The difference is that whereas Oxford Dictionary talks about leadership as something that makes “a good leader”, Merriam Webster talks about leader only It has been agreed upon by many researchers that leadership is not a step, but a process (Leadership Theories and Studies, n.d.; Stogdill, 1950; Jacob & Jaques, 1990; Malik, 2012; Kesting, Ulhøi, Song, & Niu, 2016).
