Over the years, the concept of leadership has gained unparallel significance in management literature. Though pivotal role of a leader has never been ignored in military organisations; they are the profit-oriented, competition-driven business organisations and business schools, which have given it a new meaning. It is being argued that what the contemporary organisations need, especially at the top and middle-level management, are leaders, not merely managers. The maxim of Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis, “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things,” also points toward this trend. Throughout the human history, leaders have always played a vital role in everyday state of affairs. Be it in ancient China during the time of Sun Tzu, in Egypt, when prophet Yusuf (PBUH) was a prominent administrator, or more recently, in the Indian subcontinent during the times of Jinnah and Gandhi; leaders have always outlived their natural lives through their historic deeds. It is, therefore, quite natural for most of us to ponder about what is leadership; who are leaders and how they become so, and whether everyone, who aspires so, can also become a leader? In this paper, I shall make an endeavour to find answers to these questions and to learn the principles, whose application might make many of us leaders of unmatching acumen, vision and inspirational power.
