      Leadership is sometimes confused with…
     • Authority
     • Management
     • Position
     • Leadership is a verb (it’s an action – leading) not simply 
       a position (leader).
     • Leadership can be practiced from many positions within 
       an organisation (not only from those with the title 
       “leader.”)
     • Not everyone with who is called a “leader” practices 
       leadership.
