Abstract
Leadership is fundamentally about influence. In the context of organisations it concerns influencing a group of people towards a shared goal (Northouse, 2010). Categorisations and characterisations of leadership are myriad with each offering particular insights and directing attention differentially to aspects of the contexts in which leadership is described, as well as to characteristics, including behaviours, of leaders and followers in that context. In this chapter attention is necessarily confined to those concepts from the leadership literature that are either explicitly mentioned or implicitly evident in the chapters of this section.
