A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit – Arnold H. Glasow.
Leadership is the process of organizing people for a specific purpose. A leader can have formal authority or not. Theories of leadership have been developed that focus on the traits, situational interaction, behavior, power, vision, values, and charisma of leaders. They have also considered the role of intelligence and motivation in leadership. In general, there is no single definition of what is the most important attribute of a leader.
The importance of leadership is not limited to one area of an organization. A good leader can motivate employees and create trust among subordinates. A good leader can also develop ideas and solutions to problems. An effective leader can manage and control all types of conflict. They can ensure that followers express their views and work together to achieve the goals of the organization. Moreover, a good leader will ensure stability and high productivity within the organization. Regardless of the role of the leader, the success of an organization depends on how effective he is in using the formal authority he has.
Leaders at all levels must inspire their individuals throughout the company to be fully engaged in searching for the tactics necessary to remain ahead in the competitive business world today. The success of an organization or team greatly depends on the type of leader.
