Before discussing what makes leaders effective or ineffective, it is important to define what leadership is and is not, since the term is often used loosely to describe a wide array of relationships between the formal or informal head of a group and its members. Because virtually all human beings experience leadership throughout their lives, most believe that they can recognize it when they see it, though few might define the term in precisely the same way. Thus, the definition of leadership on which any comprehensive theory is based must be broad enough to encompass the full range of relationships that most people would regard as leadership.
