Theoretical Approaches To The Study Of Leadership In Business Organization

Modern management pays great attention to leadership in business organization. Leadership concept derives from the word lead. The term leadership is associated with the behavior of the head, directing subordinates to unite efforts and ability to achieve goals and objectives. In literature leadership is seen in two aspects.

Attention is directed to managers how to carry out the activities. Attention is directed to the leaders of the meaning of things and the decisions of the participants. Theoretical approaches to the study of leadership Leadership has long been considered in two aspects: as a process and as a property. Only in recent years it was seen as a process and as a property simultaneously. This raises the examination in three directions:
1. Property-leadership is a set of characteristics possessed by those who exercise successfully influence.
2. Process directly influence and coordinate the actions of the group to achieve its goal.
3. Process and as a property-leadership is directly and naturally influence the persons who have the relevant skills to achieve a certain goal.
With the development of science these trends are reflected in different approaches to leadership.

Approach to personality

Under this approach, effective management is not determined by the personal qualities of the head, and from his behavior and attitude towards subordinates. This approach endorsed the concept that leaders are not born but are built. Leadership behavior can be developed and improved through training and gaining practical experience.

The style of leadership is seen as an overall relatively stable system of tools and methods for impact, which has internal unity and ensures effective implementation of corporate strategy and policy. Mason Carpenter, Talya Bauer, and Berrin Erdogan (n.d) Classification classic styles of leadership differentiates three basic styles:
