I believe a leader is someone who lives the example of how he wants to see the world. An individual who desires to serve and help others reach their goals, whether it would be cutting the grass or making a tough CEO decision. A leader is an individual many people will follow because of his habits, and ability to overcome failure and keep moving forward.

Someone with strength, courage and intelligence, who is also a risk taker.

I am doing a project about management and leadership, so here is my definition of leader.
*People are an assets
*Workers are followers
*Do the right thinks
*Seek commitment
*Inspire people
*Demand the best

here is some definitions from other people:
“You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too”
Sam Rayburn
“An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep”
Arab proverb

It is a big topic it will take you years to study the definition of leader coz each person look at a leader from his or her point of view and it is different from other people.

Someone who controls a group of people or an individual and tells them what they should do.
