Katz and Kahn believed that leadership is commonly viewed as "the attribute of a position, as the characteristic of a person and as a character of behavior. Moreover, leadership is a relational concept implying two terms: the influencing agent and the persons influenced. Leadership conceived as ability, is a slippery concept, since it depends too much on the properties of the situation and of the people to be led." Leadership is a complex dynamic that involves three components: the leader, the follower and the situation.
