The main aim of this website is to promote a new definition of leadership, one that is independent of position and which shows how leadership can be bottom-up as well as top-down. The key point about leadership shown upwards is that it can come to an end once those in charge buy the new idea. This means that it is possible to show leadership without having anything to do with getting things done or managing people. The implication of this point is that leadership must be defined as, showing the way for others, the successful promotion of a new direction, leaving management the job of getting it done through people.
For example, Martin Luther King's protest against segregation on buses was targetted at government. This is leadership from the sidelines or bottom-up because King did not manage the implementation of his ideas. The U.S. Supreme court ruled segregation on buses unconstitutional and the government implemented this change of policy. King's leadership, therefore, ended once government bought his vision. Such leadership is nothing more than the promotion of a new direction. We need to move beyond leadership definitions that imply being in charge of people. Thought leadership is another example, where employees promote ideas to their bosses thus showing bottom-up leadership. See also Thought Leadership.
