A leader leads

Johtaa means “to lead” and is used often just like in English, where it has some concrete and some abstract meanings.
Examples:

Kaikki tiet johtavat Roomaan.
All roads lead to Rome.


Hannes Kolehmainen johtaa kisaa.
Hannes Kolehmainen leads the competition.

Tämä metodi johtaa parhaiseen tulokseen.
This method leads to the best result.

Similarly, the leader is “johtaja”.

Johtaa has also a meaning “to pass through” or “to convey”, “to conduct”. In science, you can use it in experssions such as “the cord conducts electricity” / “Johto johtaa sähköä”.

The noun is “johto”, which means “leadership, management or goverment”, or as in the earlier example “a cord” or “a conductor”.

Vitsi:
Miksi Lech Wałęsa pidätettiin?
Hän oli korjamassa autoa ja ilmiantaja kuuli, kun hän sanoi “puolan johto pitää vaihtaa”.

(Puola = Poland, puola = spark coil)
