What Is Leadership Skill?
Leadership skill is the capability to help people move toward a shared objective through direction, decisions, communication, coordination, responsibility, and influence. Leadership is not identical to having a title.
Leadership can be demonstrated by
Clarifying a goal; organizing people; making difficult decisions; taking responsibility; resolving conflict; developing others; communicating priorities; creating conditions for others to contribute.

Partly by what happens to the group and the work — not simply by how authoritative the leader appears.
