DYNAMICS OF LEADERSHIP – Concept & Style

Abstract

The dictionary definition of a Leader is that of one who leads or goes first. A separate definition would develop out of the idea of one who leads i.e. one who motivates. Thus it is very difficult to separate out theories and concepts of Leadership and Motivation. The leader, to fulfil their role has to know how to motivate people and must seek ways to do this so as to maintain their role as leader. Many theories and styles of leadership have emerged since the end of the 2^nd World War, as people's attitudes to leadership, motivation and management have developed and changed to a more intelligent level.
