Definition of Leadership

"Leadership is about learning together, and constructing meaning and knowledge collectively and collaboratively. It involves opportunities to surface and mediate perceptions, values, beliefs, information, and assumptions through continuing conversations; to inquire about and generate ideas together; to seek, to reflect upon and make sense of work in light of shared beliefs and new information, and to create actions that grow out of these new understandings. Such is the core of leadership" (Lambert 1998).
