A common theme that seems to run through many definitions is that ‘leadership involves influencing the attitudes, beliefs, behaviours and feelings of other people’ (Spector, 2006). Although these definitions may be confusing, it is worth noting that there is no one correct definition of leadership. This vast range of definitions can contribute to a greater understanding of the many factors that influence leadership, as well as provide different perspectives of the concept (Hughes et al, 2006)
