  Analysis of Leadership                                                   

Leadership style is how a leader works to achieve other goals. Leadership style involves how a manager plans, organizes, decides, delegates and directs employees. (Valamis,2022).

Nowadays in the global society, we have recognized many successful leaders with the ability and skills of a particular leader and adaptable strategies. Whereas, the leaderships skills depend on the company, country, culture and level of management styles.

As per my research, there are many styles of leadership. Whereas pre-dominantly classified into three groups

 

-       Democratic leadership

 

 

-       Autocratic leadership

 

 

-       Laissez-faire leadership (Fiona Houlihan,2020).

 

According, to Adair’s leadership models, depends on three components

Team management, individual and task. It defines that the three components cannot stand alone. Adair’s model theory is dependent on the other components. Whereas being a leader you have to find out the weakness and strengths of the team members. Perhaps, for instance, an employee will have a communication problem, so we as a manager should find a solution and train him further. When it comes to organizing your work. However, if left untreated, the problem can escalate until it seriously affects the project in question. (Mullins,2010).

Differentiation of Management and leadership

Management is the process of accomplishing business objectives through its function such as

-       Training employees

-       Co-ordination with teams

-       Forecasting organisation

-       Monitoring and evaluation.

 

Frederick W. Taylor states “knowing what people want to do and supervise them to make best way and cheapest”

 

The manager concentrates mainly on these fundamental elements Ideas, things and people. (A. Mackensie’s 1969).

 

 

 

 Leadership is a process that influences leaders and group members to achieve common goals.

Strength of leader to follow people, adapt, lead and the human side of the business for the “teacher”.

Druker says” to achieve high efficiency and adapt to external changes” to become a good leader.

There are many traits that make up a strong leader some of the key elements are

-       Honesty & Integrity

-       Vision

-       Inspiration

-       Ability to challenge

-       Communication Skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example of leaders

 

In 1976, Steve Jobs and Wozniak joined together to start Apple Computer. The company's stock price dropped to $2 per share, but under Jobs' creative management, the business grew gradually, reaching a peak of $200 per share in 2007. He creates a vision, which increases his colleagues' inspiration and energy as well as their enthusiasm and passion for their work. This is a transformational leadership approach if you will. The (Mac) desktop and laptop were the birthplaces of innovative leadership. The I Mac, which is available on the Apple I Pod, is one of his fashionable computers. Jobs frequently displays his dictatorial leadership style. I Pod is one of his fashionable computers. Jobs frequently displays his dictatorial leadership style. (Levy, S.2022).

 

Bill Gates is a prominent businessman who has successfully led Microsoft Corporation as its founder and CEO since 1975. Coming from an entrepreneurial background, he pursued his hobbies from a young age. He had a clear concept that he wanted to emphasize and he began working on it. Gates and his pal Allen intended to develop a programming language for brand-new, unreleased computers. Gates then secured a purchase order from IBM in 1981 to produce his DOS. This was Microsoft's first significant move. Gates never pursued long-term ideas in all implementations (Cusumano, 2009). Microsoft is on top of the world thanks to Gates' innovation and constant learning (Moore, 2011).

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

Based on my overview, I believe Strong managers and leaders who onboard their staff and guide them toward success are essential qualities for successful business owners. Leadership is about inspiring others to share your vision, support you in achieving it, and cooperate with you.
