This document discusses different aspects of leadership. It defines leadership as communicating one's worth and potential to others so they see it within themselves. It also discusses leading in organizations, with the challenge being to allow everyone to contribute their talents. When addressing problems, leaders should not neglect the spirit, mind, heart or body. Successful leaders manage strategy, execution, and culture. Modeling leadership through personal actions and dealing with conflict in a listening and solution-oriented way are also discussed.
