1ANALYSIS OF LEADERSHIP STYLES
The leadership based function is important for the proper functioning of the modern
organizations. The proper leadership helps in the achievement of the goals that are set by the
groups that are formed within the organizations. The leaders are considered to be those
individuals who mainly take an initiative or start an action. The steps or the plan of action are
then communicated to the employees of the organization. I think leadership has the power to
influence the relationships that are formed between the employees and the managers of the
various companies (Balon 2014). The leaders are those people who are capable of making
changes in the various organizational processes.
The leadership based concept has gone through some major changes in the current
business environment. The major reason behind the changes that take place in the
environment are based on the increase of various issues and scandals in the modern business
organizations. The leaders in the organizations of the previous times needed to be stable and
uniform in nature. On the other hand, the modern leaders and the process of leadership is
based on the involvement of the empowerment of the managers, the high levels of
collaboration and the ways by which the leaders are able to provide better services to the
firms (Bolden 2016). According to me, this is a time when the managers need to move
forward towards the leadership and the empowerment based activities. The responsibilities of
managing the companies cannot be fulfilled by the leadership. However, the leaders are
capable of guiding the employees towards the achievement of the organizational goals
(Bolman and Deal 2014).
The various functions of leadership in an organization are further related to the
management based responsibilities. The various contemporary theories that I have learnt have
placed emphasis on situational factors which mainly include, the job structure, the traits of
the followers and the stress levels. The various behavioural theories on the other hand mainly
emphasize on the relationships that are established between the performances of the groups

and the behaviour of the leaders (Bolman and Deal 2017). The personality of the leaders also
can be known in various different forms which are based on the agreeableness, the stability of
the emotions and levels of the openness that is shown towards various experiences. This
approach has helped me to understand the efficiency of the leadership process. This can also
help leaders of the organization to understand the various dimensions in which they need to
operate (Chin 2015).
The fundamental beliefs which can affect the behaviour of the employees or any other
individual in the organizations can be termed as the values. The values that are possessed by
the leaders are mainly based on the ways by which they act towards various situations. The
attitudes of the leaders are thereby based on the negative or the positive aspects that are
related to various events (Clifford 2015). The two major theories that are based on human
nature are, the Theory X and the Theory Y. The Theory X mainly deals with the levels of
laziness of the employees, which demands for the authoritative or the repressive leaders. The
Theory Y is thereby related to assumptions that the employees are committed towards their
work and are proud of working as well. In this case, the best style of leadership would be the
process of interacting effectively with the followers (Cook 2014).
According to the various theories that I have learnt, the charismatic leaders are able to
motivate the people or the employees much more as compared to the other types of leaders.
The employees are thereby influenced by the power that is possessed by the leaders on a
personal basis rather than the power that they have with respect to the positions that are
provided to them. The ways by which the employees of the organization are influenced by the
power of the leaders is mainly based on the personal qualities that are possessed by them
(Cox 2016). The mental models are mainly based on hold of the people relating to their
behaviour. The emotional intelligence of the employees mainly involves social awareness,
self-management, social awareness and the management of relationship. I think that the
