Leadership is one of those qualities that you know when you see it, but it is difficult to describe. There are almost as many definitions as there are commentators. Many associate with one person leading. Four things stand out in this respect. First , to lead involves influencing others. Second, where there are leaders there are followers. Third, leaders seem to come to the fore when there is a crisis or special problem. In other words , they often become visible when an innovative response is needed. Fourth, leaders are people who have a clear idea of what they want to achieve and why. Thus , leaders are people who are able to think and act creatively in non- routine sitruations- and who set out to influence the actions, beliefs and feelings of others. Demand for great leaders is growing in modern times, as society and technology is becoming increasingly advanced. The ever changing business environment has created a need for leaders who can meet the demands and challenges of organizations functioning in complex competitive environments, with the world open for trade. In attempting to understand the nature of leadership and its different aspects, it is necessary to discuss the different theories of leadership that have developed over time, as various schools of thought have brought their differing ideas and knowledge to this discipline. There are various theories of leadership, which attempt to explain the factors involved in the emergence of leadership, the nature of leadership, or the consequences of leadership.
