Last week's final definition: To me leadership means the effect a person or a group can have on people to help support and better them throughout their endeavors to reach a common goal.
This week's definition: To me leadership means the effect a person or a group can have on people to help support and better them throughout their endeavors to reach a common goal; while doing what is right when no one is watching.
Analysis of the differences in the definitions:This week I added a section about doing what is right. "The ethics of right vs. right." How Good People Make Tough Choices" by Kidder, is all about whether doing the right thing for yourself or another source is really always doing the right thing. Kidder speaks about having to weigh your morals and ethics to be able to make the right choice. In the movie swat, Samuel L. Jackson says "sometimes doing the right thing just ain't doing the right thing" (Samuel L. Jackson, 2003) This quote is correct, sometimes you have to do something that is against your morals or may not be the right thing but is the best thing for the job and people will benefit the most from.

Hey Justin,
The definitions you've wrote show great insight into how you view leadership. I also like how your have outside experiences influencing your definitions. I would also ask you to consider if your definition targets a particular group of leaders or does it encompass all leaders? Lastly your missing a couple of weeks 6 & 7, go ahead and add those. Also incorporate how even though your definition might not change, how the readings from that week still influences you not to change your definition.
