In your answer, leadership is a function/role done by you to get the job done. And, the way that you get the job done is by motivation.
This is a view of leadership but it is not complete. There are other way to lead by some other means..
Mavik,
You think that leadership resides on a person as opposed to what a person does. And, the person has to lead a team in order to be a leader.
A) A person that a position that allow him/her to lead a person is an organizational leader.
B) A person that lead by sharing vision and motivate people is an motivational leader.
1) (A) and (B) does not has to be the same person. You do not need to be someone's else boss in order to motivate and get someone to help you.
2) You are assuming that leadership has to do with a person. Leadership is a function by a person. It is what a person do that define whether he/she a leader. By the way, some times, in order for team to function, a person has to be the follower eventhough he/she might be the official team leader.

I always thought that leadership has to do with a person because it definitely has to involve a person at some level. How can we define leadership if there is no one to take the lead or how can we define the very core of function if there is no one to execute it? Unless you are speaking of leadership as a trait or a characteristic that defines a leader.
I do believe at every level, leaders do not just lead either functionally or by their position but they do much more in terms of like what you said, following or even serving their people. It is not about commanding.
But what I really want to know is that, can leaders be made/taught or are people born natural leaders? I guess in different situations and the different areas of leadership both can be applied.

Everybody thinks highly of themself. Of course.....Even a good company can choose a wrong leader..Till they realise the leader has nothing but verbal skills....
