ABSTRACT
A manager can be appointed. Leadership must be earned, even after appointment to a managerial position. Leadership is not a position in an organization, but an active, influencing force. Leadership is not based on a position or status, but on authority and prestige. Leadership may come from personal enthusiasm, personal authority, credibility, knowledge, skill, or charisma; in short, it is derived from the influence that the leader has on his followers (Darling, 1992).
