Jim Johnson and others debate what makes a leader good. Johnson defines it simply: someone with a vision who gets others to follow it. They argue that micromanagers and dictators are leaders too, just bad ones.
You'll see it on LinkedIn all the time if you micromanage your people. You're a dictator, not a leader. No, you're a leader. You're just a leader who's a dictator, okay? So quit trying to. It's just a huge pet peeve. Quit trying to put all this you're a leader, not a leader. Like, if you can be a terrible leader in a leadership role, you're still a leader. You're just not a very good one. Or you can be a really nasty human being who's in a leadership position. You. You're still a leader. You're just a leader who's a nasty human being.
Yeah. I would say a leader is a person that has a vision that he can get other people on board for, to follow him. That's, I think, right out of the dictionary, the definition of it.
