KEY POINTS
- Each manager/supervisor in your org will define leadership differently
- When people define leadership differently, they think of leadership differently
- They will think differently about leadership outcomes, attributes (style) and competencies
- Collective leadership is impossible w/out a unified definition of leadership
BEST PRACTICES
- Develop your definition of leadership (see Army example)

- Base your leadership evaluations on this definition
COMMON MISTAKES
- Assuming that successful, experienced executives are skilled leaders
- Using flowery, ambiguous language to define leadership
- Over relying on HR to define leadership
