29. ACTION : CASE STUDIES

30. LEADERSHIP

31. Peter Drucker : "The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers." To gain followers requires influence but doesn't exclude a lack of integrity in achieving this. John C Maxwell : In the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell defines leadership as "leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less." This moves beyond defining the leader to looking at their ability to influence others – both followers and those outside that circle. Indirectly, it builds in leadership character, since without maintaining integrity and trustworthiness, the capability to influence disappears.

32. Warren Bennis : focused on the individual capability of the leader : "Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential." Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester : "the process of influencing the behavior of other people toward group goals in a way that fully respects their freedom." The emphasis on respecting freedom is an important one, and one which should be a hallmark of Christian leadership. Jesus influenced many diverse people during his ministry but compelled no-one to follow Him.

33. ACTION : Describe the ideal Rotary leader for D7030.
