Our cohort graduates May 7. I am working on my capstone summary which includes my personal definition of leadership and my leadership model. As our professor says, we all now have the Leadership Curse...a funny way of saying anything that we read about leadership from this point on we will hold up to our knowledge that we gleaned from our master's degree studies. It has been a very insightful two years. Your blog and website has great information. I am glad I stumbled upon it when I did a Google search of Positive Organizational Behavior. Keep up the good work! Thanks, Tracy Brett,

I probably should too but I found the definition in Daft's book. Thanks!! Bret Welcome, Tracy! I’m impressed that you know Rost’s book. I did not until I read Daft, and Daft does cite Rost.

When I saw this quote by Daft I checked in one of the books we read for our program titled Leadership for the Twenty-First Century (1993) by Joseph C. Rost. On p. 102 is Rost's definition: Leadership is an influence relationship among leaders and followers who intend real change that reflect their mutual purposes. You quoted Daft. Did Daft cite Rost? Just curious. Have you read Rost's book? It sounds to me that Daft was using Rost's definition. Thanks for sharing and I think your website is well produced. Hello,
