Instead of doing so, I am stipulating the brief definition shown above. It is clear and simple, and it contains a moral component often missing in leadership definitions. It emphasizes humane behavior and mutually beneficial results; thus, logically ruling out criminal activities, as well as legal, but crass, self-interest. Leadership can be examined from an amoral perspective, as did Machiavelli, but I won't be doing so, here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso, \"to seek\" indicates goal-oriented behavior, without stipulating success. One can lead well, but still fail. Success often depends on the resources and obstacles encountered along the way, variables perhaps well beyond a leader's control. It is important to acknowledge that serendipity often plays a critical role in group achievement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Friendly Leadership is substantial in its wisdom and features brief stories and ideas for \"humanely influencing others to seek positive, mutually rewarding outcomes.\" In the slim volume, Weinholtz offers an overview of servant leadership and concisely advises readers how to make their groups more welcoming to diverse members...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFriends new to leadership theory as well as those looking to sharpen their skills would find this book informative, clear, and easy to read.
