This paper was ordered in one of the research companies (essay writing services) but a customer deceived the company and did not pay for this paper. Hope, it will help other students in their learning.
Introduction
Many scholars see the leadership establishment as concentrating on narrow, highly deterministic, and rigidly delineated models. Some would defend these as representing the results of application of the scientific method to leadership research. The frequency that leaders exhibit activity on different leadership dimensions represents varying leadership styles. One leader's style may be to exhibit initiating structure activities more frequently than consideration activities; whereas another leader's style may be the opposite. A large segment of leadership research has focused on the problem of determining which styles of leadership activity are most effective in different work situations. I am working for United Networks, a holding company based in Kuwait that owns various businesses in satellite communications, Internet service provision. (Armandi et al 2003, p. 1076). The example of this company shows that leadership is one of the crucial elements of management and effective performance as it determines strategic leadership position of the company, organizational culture and effective location of resources. Leadership is important for every organization because it determines its culture and values, relations between employees and corporate morale. Leaders differ consistently from each other across groups but also may relate differently to different members within their group. A leader is the kind of person (with leadership qualities) who has the appropriate knowledge and skill to lead a group to achieve its ends willingly. These leadership functions need to be handled with excellence and this is achieved by performing those functions with increasing skill. Before examining the skills of leadership, it is worth seeing where certain qualities of leadership can be viewed as having functional value. It would be wrong to say that some leadership styles better than other except the case of negative personal traits and an autocratic leadership style which has a negative impact on the organization and employees.
Conclusion
Leadership is a complex process base on emotional intelligence and strategic choice of organization. Recent years, researchers propose to focus on emotional intelligence and pay more attention to feelings and emotions of employees. Following Daniel Goleman, Warren Bennis and James Macgregor Burns, managerial function of leading deals with the schemes of influencing the employees to work productively to achieve the goals of the organisation. On other hand, Leadership as a higher form of management. A leader has the capacity to affect the manner in which the employees act and provide opinions; whereas, managers only affect the actions and decisions of the employees. It is important to distinguish moral and just leadership from the character of despots who, by definition, are effective leaders if they accomplish their goals through persuasion. Management, like leadership, is ethically neutral. Managers mobilize and allocate resources; they staff and ensure the continuing vitality of the team; they create and maintain appropriate procedures. They also direct, delegate, and coordinate, and they provide a system of incentives to motivate and encourage productive behavior. Managers also establish reporting systems, perform evaluations, and assign accountability.
