From the Paper:

"Many believe that leadership is simply the ability to make people do what you want them to do with as much will, determination and enthusiasm as possible. In other words, leadership is getting people to do what you want them to do without introducing methods of coercion (Robbins, 1998). This is easy and straight- forward in theory, but in practice leadership is a complex phenomena with an interplay of many aspects. Leadership is composed of many levels of relationships, contacts with people and situations that may arise. It is a mixture of give and take between the leader and his or her followers as well as influences from the outside environment on their relations. Leadership is therefore a complex interaction of situations, contexts and people."
