roles include self-leading, managing change, empowering people, leading
by example, delegating authority, facilitating cooperation, and building
and leading a team.Leadership is not just power but for the most part, it
is about relationships. Leadership is also about ones power to reward and
punish in a nondiscriminatory manner. To have a certain style or persona
that ensures people will support your implementation of goals for the
