''The Rooftop'' () is a 2013 Taiwanese musical film. It is the second feature film directed by Taiwanese singer/actor Jay Chou. Similar to his first feature film, ''Secret'', Jay played multiple roles in the production of the film, as the main lead, director, script-writer and music composer. ''The Rooftop'' is one of the many scripts that Chou has written since the success of ''Secret'' in 2007. Most of the scripts are sequels to ''Secret''. However, Chou and his long-time friend Will Liu decided to work on ''The Rooftop'' as a challenge to produce the first Chinese mainstream musical-come-martial arts film. They claimed that ''The Rooftop'' is a film that is difficult to be categorized, for it combined the elements of musical extravaganza and actions. Chou has made good use of his experience from filming ''The Green Hornet'' in Hollywood, ''Initial D'' in Hong Kong and directing over 60 of his own music videos, to conceptualize ''The Rooftop'' with music as its roots, combined w ...

Leadership, both as a research area and as a practical skill, encompasses the ability of an individual, group or organization to "lead", influence or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations. The word "leadership" often gets viewed as a contested term.

U.S. academic environments define leadership as "a process of social influence in which a person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common and ethical task". Basically, leadership can be defined as an influential power-relationship in which the power of one party (the "leader") promotes movement/change in others (the "followers"). Some have challenged the more traditional managerial views of leadership (which portray leadership as something possessed or owned by one individual due ...
