Leadership is the what everyone aimed to attained by failed to learn to become. Leadership in general sense is viewed as the capacity of someone to lead others.
But is it that easy to lead someone? One of the most difficult thing ever faced in human existence is leading for others to follow. Every human being is endowed with ego/pride which makes it quite difficult to lead and so every leader because of the humanity has this pride too, meaning there's some level of respect every leader is expecting from those leads.
What does it mean to lead? To lead simply means to guide or conduct, not just guide by conduct but by accompanying, meaning, going before other and showing example by influencing the attitude, behavior, and actions through directing with authority not authority but have precedence or preeminence as a leader. This called for a deliberate learning as a leader.
Who then is a leader? a leader is seen as any person that leads or directs other people, animals or things. A leader is seen as not seems to be a person. So to be seen as requires a lot prerequisites because, he is one who goes first, as having an authority to direct. No one or any follower would follow a leader who doesn't know what he meant to lead. This causes rebellion, faction and chaos while trying to Lead when not learning. How would a leader do when the prerequisites are unknown to him so, the acquired through learning leadership principles.
