What is leadership? Hundreds of volumes have been written about leaders and leadership. Here is how we define leadership: “Leadership is a subset of action.” ~Robert Terry

We provide discussion of a variety of leadership styles and leadership models on this site. Rather than discounting any of them, we show you how they have a place within our Action Wheel Leadership Model. The leadership wisdom is knowing where they fit and when to use them. From Bob Terry’s book Authentic Leadership: Courage in Action:

"Leadership depends on an ability to frame issues correctly—that is, to answer the question: What is really going on? Leadership also depends on an ability to call forth authentic action in response to the issues it identifies. In order to describe how leadership frames issues accurately and embodies and promotes authenticity, it is essential to develop a new leadership theory and practice that incorporates the authenticity and the ethical sensibility needed by leaders if their work is to be relevant to today’s problems. Within that view of leadership, the purpose of this book is to accomplish two broad goals, set in the context of three dichotomies. These goals and context will result in a comprehensive framework for leadership.

The two goals are (1) to build a perspective of leadership that offers a unique orientation yet also embraces the diverse viewpoints within other current leadership studies and (2) to construct a practical set of tools and guides that leaders can use to enhance their everyday leadership action." ~Robert Terry

Our leadership assessment tools are based on the Action Wheel and are invaluable for all types of decision making: organizational decision making, professional decision making and personal decision making.
