On the other hand, leaders may not have the same authority as managers, but the power that nursing leader posses is inherited from their ...

Introduction In the current business environment, leadership is considered to go beyond the “manager” title. Leadership is seen to be about whom the employees ate following.

Introduction

Leadership theories are the source of many studies. In history, many scholars have attempted to fathom the source of great leaders, both in the business and non-business environment. Consequently, in both practice and theory, there are specific features of individuals that allow them to stand apart from the rest of other individuals. Therefore, there are many theories that professors, researchers, and philosophers continue to study. Two of the professors that have an interest in the subject matter are Professor Michael Zigarelli and John Maxwell. While the former summarizes the most imperative leadership theories in the academic front, the latter ...

The leadership theory that appeals me the most is behavioral theory. Behavioral theory emphasizes that leaders are not born instead they are made. The theory is indicative of the fact that successful leadership can be achieved via learnable and identifiable behavior (Yukl, 1971). This theory, however, does not consider inborn abilities and traits, but look at the actions or acts of leaders. This theory suggests that strong personality, self confidence, and ego with positive attitude are required for leadership. Behavioral theory believes that behavior of leaders directly exert their influence on efficiency and effectiveness of workgroup. Further, this theory ...

Transformational leadership is an approach in which leaders and their followers are mutually helpful towards moving to a higher level of motivation and excellence in the workplace (Burns, 1978).

There are many theories about what makes a good leader. Leadership is often confused with management. A person can be a good leader and a good manager. An organization needs both. The difference is the thought process. Leaders influence and inspire others, deal with change, and take decisive action. They look into the future by creating a vision. This vision is what the end result will be in present time. A manager’s mindset is in the present, usually by performing the day-to-day operations of a business. Managers carry out the visions of leaders. My current job does not ...
