During the video, when the lecturer was talking about definitions of leadership, I kept thinking of the definition of a coach that is presented by the 3Dimensional Coaching organization: “To take someone of importance from where they are to where they want or need to go.” This is very similar to the lecturer’s definition of leading someone to a better place.
