Leadership is an elusive term. There is no specific training program one can participate in to learn to be a leader. No single leader has all the characteristics that could be emulated to become a leader. There is no finite list of values that defines a leader. So, perhaps leadership is more personal, a positive relationship one person inspires in others.

They need to look holistically at what they are trying to enable for the user, and make that easy for the user.”. As someone who has been developing software for a number of years the challenge is that easy is hard.
