1APPLYING NEW LEADERSHIP STYLEIntroductionIt is a well-known fact that leaders are not made, they are born. Instances from historyand the present world abounds that exemplify the values and traits of a true leader. A leadercould be from any field, be it politics, culture, society or organization. In the modern world, it isextremely important for a leader to have a sound knowledge of ethics, management and thevalues of teamwork. Previously, several theories and models of leadership have been developedthat define the different leadership styles (Latham 2014).

With the combination of compassionand discipline, the leader would be able to acquire other skills as well. This would beaccomplished through deep observation of others and being genuine to self.
