How is Personal Leadership understood?

I am really curious about this topic and not to try to come up with a definition, but rather to see what is bubbling up for folks when "personal leadership" is mentioned.

I have heard that this term now has a negative meaning such that it is equated with personal responsibility.  Furthermore, I understand that some organizations are using the term personal responsibility like it is a large, heavy bat and they are metaphorically hitting their employees over the head with it.

What's out there that you know about either in terms of your personal experience, or what you have heard about with regard to using personal leadership in a negative way?

Thank you!
