Leadership is one of the most studied subject around the world since ages. Just like communities change over the period, concepts of leadership undergo change, after all leadership is built around people who seek leadership and people who display it.

There is something about leadership that connects it strongly to innovation though both can exist without each other. Let's look at what this leadership might be. Seems like it's an effort, leading towards the goal by breaking inertia or moving against force (resistance). If you're leading in the direction of force rather than opposed to it, then though you may appear to lead, truth is that you're yourself following, the force in this case.

With this definition, existence of resistance becomes integral to the way one describes leadership on ground. Here lies the link to innovation that makes leadership both sustainable and interesting. Leadership with innovation is a sustainable advantage that organizations can build inside to create and execute winning strategies.

As regards to various types of leadership forms that one sees and are being talked about as transactional or transformational etc, most of these are a factor of people types and times in which we operate. To each her own, leadership is about breaking inertia, braving resistance and pursuit to the goal for the rest to follow. Some part of it requires particular DNA type, some other needs ability to take risk, sometimes capacity takes you through and all along innovation makes leading fun.
