leadership

is characterized by the so-called 'influential increment' over and above mechanical compliance with routine directions of the organization.

Katz and Kahn (1966) considered 'the essence of organizational leadership to be the influential increment over and above mechanical compliance with routine directions of the organization.' They observed that although all supervisors at the same level of organization have equal power, they do not use it with equal effectiveness to influence individuals and the organization.
