Leadership

Organizing others and sustaining their willingness to act.

Overview

Leadership organizes people around an objective and sustains their willingness to act. It covers direction, coordination, morale, and public inspiration. It works with groups and followers rather than simply measuring rank or the number of people a character can employ.
