It can be said that effective leaders are those who create a compelling vision for others, who model values and principles that others seek to follow, and who motivate and inspire the talents around them.
Leadership is the achievement of results through people.
Leadership can be found in formal organizational structures and it can be found in informal peer groups. Leadership is not defined nor limited by gender. While it is common for people to assume that men are natural leaders, in many ways women can bring significant talents to leadership. African women have always been strong leaders - leaders capable of marshalling scant resources to pull their families and their communities through difficult times. They are adept at juggling many tasks and priorities and often deal with a number of crises simultaneously.
