Howard Johnson has a different approach to defining leadership. He relates leadership to every aspect of our society on four leadership values. The first is competence. Competence is simply labeled as intelligence and the ability to make intelligent, imaginative decisions. Secondly, a leader should have good values.
Values are the leaders beliefs and emotional feelings that drive the inner self.
Values include ambition, human awareness, and a commitment to ethical practices. Third, a leader needs direction. They need to have goals and visions to progress forward. Finally, a true leader has spirit. Spirit is personal energy and enthusiasm.
