Introduction
The different management and leadership theories are widely adapted by organisation around
the globe to achieve their goals(Bush., Bell and Middlewood 2019). The leaders possess
specific management skills which enable them to achieve the goals and objectives. The
decision making of organisations needs to be flexible in changing contexts to meet the needs
of the environment. The application of certain leadership and management theories has a
direct impact on the strategies, culture and goals of the organisation.
In this essay, we will explore the different theories of management and leadership and their
effect on the business strategies in different social and political contacts. We will also explore
an in-depth analysis of the leadership policies followed by a healthcare organisation.
Leadership and Management
There are varied opinions among scholars about the concept of leadership and management.
Some experts say that they both are same but others say that management is a subset of
leadership.
According to Harsey and Blenchard management consists of leadership which plays a key
role in influencing the behaviour of others (Rothaermel 2016). Management is a subset of
leadership which organisations use to reach their goal. Hence, there is a reciprocal
relationship between leadership and management. An effective leader should demonstrate
good management skills.

Leadership Models
A leadership model depicts certain theories which describe how something should take place.
Leadership models play a critical role in originations because they are today faced with
challenged and changes never seen (Dugan 2017). The big MNC firms adopt their own
leadership models to accomplish their goals.
The Trait Theory
The trait theory derives from the ‘great man’ theory. It identifies the key characteristics of a
successful leader who possesses the personality, self-confidence, achievements and abilities
to formulate visions for the organisation this approach plays a critical role for recruiting and
selecting the best individuals for leadership positions.
The impact on business organisation strategy
The application of this leadership model implies that the leader should have skills like co-
cooperativeness, dependability, confidence, persuasiveness, creativity, innovation, leadership
skills etc. to drive an organisation. PCW, for instance, needs a charismatic personality of the
leaders to motivate their employees in the managerial position. As per the trait theory, the
leaders need to have these skills to influence organisational performance with better
communication and persuading their employees.
Behaviour ideals leadership models
The behavioural ideals leadership model concentrates on the effective behaviour of a team
leader. In this leadership model it implies that the leader should practise certain ideal
behaviours either autocratic, democratic, or consultative.
