A leader is a person who has a vision, and a commitment to achieve that vision or goal. A leader is in constant motion. It is informed of the changes and acts to achieve its objectives.

Leadership is influencing others, looking outside of yourself. Could be good or bad for different viewers. 'leadership is the absence of insecurity' (von Clausewitz, 1820) Leadership is achieved by vision, action and results.
The value of a leader can only be determined by others, as value is subjective, a perception by observers. Think about Napoleon leading his army to defeat other nations. Good or bad? Depends on whom you ask.
