This noun is very often combined with certain verbs. Typical phrases are 'eine Führungsrolle übernehmen' (to take on a leadership role), 'eine Führungsrolle spielen' (to play a leadership role), or 'eine Führungsrolle innehaben' (to hold a leadership role).

leadership / tour / lead
'die Führung' and 'die Führungsrolle' both have to do with leadership, responsibility, and influence. 'die Führung' often means the leadership itself or the people who lead. 'die Führungsrolle' emphasizes the position or function: someone has a role in which they lead others or have especially strong influence. The words can be confused because both sound related to leadership. If you are talking about the task of leading in general, 'Führung' fits. If you want to describe the special role of a person or group, 'Führungsrolle' is more precise.
