If there were not any leaders, companies could not survive. They would fail under a blanket of chaos and confusion. A few select people in an organization bloom into a true leader and actually lead and not manage. These people develop certain styles and qualities that they find effective means to lead by. This paper will help explain and define leadership, and explore some styles and theories of leadership.
Leadership is something that most everybody desires to have.
Leadership is a quality or trait that every individual possesses, but not necessarily uses. Leadership is something that needs to be perfected over a given period of time, which may vary for each individual. These are just a few of the many different traits that leaders can possess, although researchers have also found that there is no one specific behavior pattern or body type or even intelligence level required to classify someone as a leader, as can be evidenced by the names of the people listed at the beginning of this paragraph. Generally, when you ask someone what a leader is there is a general answer. That answer is that it is a person that has great influence and power in our society.
