My name is Grant Peterson and I, along with my peer Kirksey Croft, serve as one of the Institute of Professional Leadership’s Hardwick Fellows for the 2024 academic year. In my role, I help publish entries for the Institute’s Lawyers as Leaders blog. I have the privilege of learning so many great lessons from our contributors. As I have read through our extensive archive of blogs (which you should do as well) I noticed that we have a glaring omission in our coverage. We have yet to answer the foundational question, “What is leadership?”
