What it is
The ability to influence and direct others toward a shared goal — combining social intelligence (reading the room, building trust) with decisiveness (making calls under uncertainty and owning the outcome). It's not a title; it's a behavioural pattern.
Career impact
Organisations scale through people, not through individuals. Workers who can lead multiply their impact because their output includes the output of everyone they direct. Even in individual contributor roles, informal leadership — mentoring, setting standards, driving alignment — creates compounding career value.
