Brief conclusions

Leadership issues are key to achieving organizational effectiveness. On the one hand, leadership is seen as having a certain set of qualities attributed to those who successfully influence or influence others, on the other hand, leadership is the process of predominantly non-strong influence in the direction of achieving the group or organization's goals. Leadership is a specific type of managerial interaction based on the most effective combination of different sources of power and aimed at motivating people to achieve common goals.

Leadership as a type of management relationship is different from the actual management and is built more on relations like "leader-followers" than "boss-subordinate". Not every manager uses leadership in his behavior. A productive manager is not necessarily an effective leader, and vice versa. Success in management does not compensate for poor leadership.

Approaches to leadership studies differ by a combination of three main variables: leadership qualities, leadership behavior and the situation in which the leader acts. An important role in this is played by the characteristics and behavior of followers. Each approach offers its own solution to the problem of effective leadership.

Early traditional concepts offered to determine effective leadership based on either the qualities of the leader or patterns of his behavior. Situation in these cases was not taken into account. These concepts eventually drowned in an infinite number of identified qualities and patterns of behavior, without creating a complete theory. Approaches based on the situational leadership offered to explain the effectiveness of leadership through the influence of external factors, without taking into account the leader as a person. New concepts have tried to combine the advantages and achievements of both traditional and situational approaches. The new approaches focus on the leader's ability to create a new vision of the solution to the problem and, using his charisma, inspire followers and inspire them with enthusiasm for taking action to achieve the goal.
