Leaders, Rather Than Leadership
Mahatma Gandhi Richard Branson Jack Welch Bill Gates

“The main body of leadership literature
focuses on the characteristics of leaders.
The underlying assumption is that
leadership is something we do to other
people...
...but in our view, leadership should be seen
as something we do with other people.
Leadership must always be viewed as a
relationship between the leader and the
led.”
Rob Goffee & Gareth Jones
