The Power Of Leadership The Power of Leadership What is leadership' What is power' I define the two as the cornerstone of any successful team, organization, or even any successful country. If we were to analyze the U.S. we could see this very clearly. The U.S. has been for some time now one of the most dominating countries in the world, hence being rightfully titled a “world power”. It is my estimation that leadership compliments power and power compliments leadership. When these two qualities are used in a responsible manner success soon follows. If we refer to the history books, we could come to the conclusion that wars are won by good leadership and a responsible use of power.
