Leadership definitions:
Those of you in this discussion may be interested in reading an article by
Rost that nicely captures his definition of leadership and the changes in
his thinking since his 1991 book.
Rost, Joseph, "Leadership: A new conception," Holistic Nursing Practice,
October, 1994, pp. 1-8.
I have used this for my organizational theory class in our MBA program,
and students are always amazed by Rost's definition of leadership. It
leads to a lively discussion since most of these new or wanna-be managers
come in with an understanding of leadership as certain traits.
