Introduction
Leadership and management are the concept which requires a precise and deep study to elaborate

becomes very much important to know or to have the knowledge about every approach of
leadership which defines various theories, model, styles and practices of leadership. Here is the

of its development. Some differences also are there to differentiate both the practices to

What is required for being a successful leader
To get the answer or develop the view for this question, it is required to understand the basic
approach of the leadership. This leadership approaches can be divided into three categories as
individual, contextual and relational. The all theories of leadership can be categorised according
to this. Every approach has different theory which relates with the leadership style and pattern.
Every individual acts differently in every situation so if in terms of leadership development every
approach plays important role. Successful leader is not use a single approach or with the single
approach no effective leader can be developed but with the blend of various approaches or the
ability to adapt appropriate pattern according to the situation, can be a good or effective leader
(Northouse, 2015).
