'die Führung' and 'die Leadership' are both connected with leading people. 'die Führung' is the normal German word and can mean leadership itself, the people in charge, or a leadership style. 'die Leadership' is an English term and tends to emphasize leadership qualities, motivation, and the ability to lead a team well. Learners may confuse the words because both occur in the workplace. In normal sentences, 'Führung' is usually more natural; 'Leadership' fits better in modern courses, job applications, or conversations about leadership skills.
