What's the definition of leadership?

As we know, business schools care a lot about candidates' leadership experience and potentials. However, most people that are applying to MBA programs only have 3 to 4 years' experience and in many industries it's not adequate to promote to a management role. So I was wondering, what exactly is the leadership seeked by business schools? Would be happy to know what you guys think!

A simple definition is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal, leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to win as a team or an organisation and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring.
