2.1 Introduction
Literature review is basically a scholarly paper which includes the current knowledge
including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a
particular topic. The comprehensive analysis on the research study topic is done in this section
by assessing the existing literature study. This section have focus on analyzing the perception of
different authors as well as scholars about the effect of leadership on leadership development.
The literature review also section will also have focus on analyzing the significance of
leadership development.
2.2 Conceptual clarifications
According to the view of (Fowler, 2018), leadership development can be defined as the
procedure executed in order to support an individual in expanding their capabilities to perform
role of leader in a company. However, leadership development can also be referred to be as
activities that improve the skills, abilities and confidence of leaders. The author Tingle, Corrales
and Peters, 2019 argues that leadership development is an activity which is mainly concerned
with teaching an individual those about the qualities of leaders and helping them in developing
communication skills as well as increasing influencing power. There are different types of
leadership development theories like great man, trait, contingencies, situational, behavioral,
participative, transaction and relationship theory. The great man theory is based on the
assumption that leadership capabilities are inherent and an individual is born with leadership
skills.
Trait theory is similar to the great man hypothesis. It is also based on the assumption that
people are born with little leadership qualities and there are few skills which are developed by

them in order to perform their roles as well as responsibilities in appropriate manner. According
to the trait theory of leadership leaders having few characteristics of leadership is not sufficient
for creating more leaders. It is the hypothesis which states that leadership development program
is very much essential in order to help leaders in increasing their competencies as well as skills.
According to the situation leadership theory, it is very much important for an organization to
provide training as well as development opportunities to leaders, as it will provide leaders an
ease in managing the complex situations. Situational theory also states that leadership
development needs should be dynamic and adapt to changing requirement for development.
The behavioral theory opposes the trait as well as classical theory. Behavioral theory
states that leaders are not born they are made. As per behavioral theory of leadership, an
individual can learn to become leader through various ways such as through observation,
experience, or by attending the seminars or training programs on leadership. It is very much
important for companies to select the best approach in context of leadership development as it
will assist management in catering to the Learning needs of an individual. In addition to this,
Hybrid approach can be utilized by management in an enterprise in context of leadership
development. Hybrid approach to leadership development is basically an integration of various
leadership theories which can be helpful in terms of meeting the development needs of
individual. It is an approach which will assist management in developing an innovative culture.
2.3 Concept as well as importance of leadership development
According to the perception of Hughes, 2018, leadership development is program which
is organized by management in an organization to supports people in becoming an effective
leader. The author (Sosik and Jung, 2018), argues that leadership development is basically a
strategic investment which is made by firm. Author has also stated that leadership development
is mainly concerned with an effective utilization of human capital in an enterprise. According to
the perception of Shamir and Eilam-Shamir,2018, leadership development is basically a process
which include providing the training to those people those who might not utilize their learned
skills in a leadership position.
According to the opinion of Clinton, 2018, leadership development is very much essential
for smooth functioning of business. However, it has been argued that leadership development is
important in order to enhance the productivity of team. As per the investigation conducted by
author Sosik and Jung, 2018., results of which reveals that companies which makes huge capital

investment on developing leaders have positive influence on their recruitment as well as retain of
workers. However, it has been argued by other authors those who states that leadership
development is very much crucial in context of preparing the roles models for future leaders and
also for positively influencing other people to develop leadership skills or qualities. According
to the survey conducted by author Subramony, Chadwick and Shyamsunder, 2018, results of
which reveals that leadership development is essential in order to bring positive as well as drastic
improvement in corporate culture. According to the opinion of Murase, Roebuck and Takahashi,
2019, leadership development program is important as it helps management in identifying the
potential leaders those who are capable of navigating through challenges in an unpredictable
business situation. However, it has been argued by some author that leadership development is
essential as it enables leaders to develop the understanding about the problems faced by
employees. According to the view of Fowler, 2018, leadership development programs are
necessary in order to encourage leaders to improve their performance at workplace. The author
Shamir and Eilam-Shamir, 2018., argues that the leadership development is very much essential
in order to bring positive improvement and drastic change within an organization. According to
the opinion of (Tingle, E., Corrales and Peters, 2019 leadership development is expensive
program, success of such events is completely based ion the engagement of leaders in the
training initiatives. The author also states that if leaders or seniors managers does not participate
in the leadership development then such case can become disheartening for their subordinates. In
addition to this, subordinates of such leaders might perceive the indifference as lack of
authenticity in behavior of leaders.
2.4 Identify the procedure by which leaders are developed.
According to the view of Horsman, 2018 , authentic leadership can be referred to as a
procedure which is drawn from both positive psychological capacities which further results in
self awareness and regulation and positive behavior. However, it has been argued by other
authors that an authentic leadership is basically an approach which emphasizes on developing the
leader legitimacy through honest relationship with followers those who value their inputs.
According to the opinion of Clinton, 2018., construction of life story is considered to be as one
of an essential element In context of development of an authentic leadership. However, some
author argues that authentic leadership rest heavily on the Self-relevant meaning. In other words,

they intend to state that leaders can gain knowledge as well as develops skills through their
experience. As per the opinion of Hughes, 2018., self-concept clarity, personal role merger and
knowledge are derived from the life story. Few authors perceives that construction of life story
is critical to the development of authentic leadership. According to the opinion of Sosik, Arenas
and Scherer, 2018., self -awareness is the procedure which plays a significant role in
development of leadership. They have stated so as they perceive that through self – awareness
an individual come to know about their own strength, unique talent, capabilities and experience.
As per the view of Taborga, 2018., leadership development procedure consists of different
phases these are preparation stage, engagement and application stage. However other authors
argues that leaders gain knowledge as well as develop skills through practices. According to the
opinion of Liu, Fuller and Dickerson, 2018., training is the procedure through which the leaders
are generally developed.
According to the view of Clinton, 2018, leaders in an organization are required to
generate self awareness. However, the author argues that leaders adopt the proactive approach
for encouraging employees to develop leadership skills at all level of an organization. As per the
opinion of Maurer and London, 2018, that leaders by ding leadership culture within an
enterprise positively influence people to develop the skills as well as leadership qualities.
However, the other authors argues that leaders formulates the sustainable long term strategy
which identifies and utilizes an inclusive framework of leading practice. Author also states that
leaders designed the long term strategy by considering the business needs.
2.5 Exploring the factors influencing leadership development
As per the view of personal factors such as an individual interest or desire to become
leader influences them to posses or improve their leadership skills. The other authors argue that it
is the availability of the resources which effect the procedure of leadership development. They
have given such statement through their analysis that leaders are dependent on organizational
resources for accomplishing their desired objectives. According to the perception of Kragt and
Guenter, 2018. , it is an individual role at workplace which positively influences them to
develop the specific skills , knowledge or core competencies. The other scholars as well as
authors argues that working environment and culture in an organization which encourages people
to develop leadership skills or qualities. As per the perception of Maurer and London, 2018., it is
social as well as legal factors which directly as well as significantly effect the way leaders

achieve their goals. However, few authors argues that advancement in the technology encourages
leader to develop an additional skill as well as core competencies. According to the opinion of
Sosik, Arenas and Scherer, 2018, It is the changing business landscape which influences leaders
to change their leadership style and increase their knowledge. The other authors argue that it is
the behavior of leaders which influences an individual to improve their skills. According to the
perception of Hughes, 2018, It is the perception of an individual about leadership which
encourages them to develop leadership skills or qualities. According to the leadership theory, it is
a leader who creates other leaders by setting examples.
2.6 The strategies which can be adopted by the manager in HOTEL for influencing leader to
develop more skills
According to the view of Javed, Rawwas and Tayyeb, 2018, companies need to make
huge capital investment on leadership development and provide employees with an appropriate
resource. However, other authors argues that an enterprise need to engraved innovation in their
culture, as it is the best strategy which will assist management in encouraging leaders as well as
other people to develop or improve their skills as well as core competencies. A However, some
researchers as well as authors argues that delegation of authority and responsibility is very much
essential in order to encourage leaders to enhance their skills and increase their capabilities.
According to the perception of Liu, Fuller and Dickerson, 2018, management in an organization
is required to provide employees with access to other strategies. The author also states that
management in an enterprise should allow leaders to work with their peers or followers, as this
strategy will assist them in motivating leaders to increase their knowledge as well as skills. As
perception of Raymer, Dobbs and Lindsay, 2018. , an organization is required to conduct the
training program for leaders, as it is very much essential in order to support them in their
professional development. The other authors argue that leaders can influence other people to
develop leadership qualities or skills by setting an example for them or by a role model for their
followers.
2.7 Summary
The fact which has been found by analyzing the literature review section is that the
success and failure of the leadership development program is completely dependent on the
participation and involvement of leaders. It has also been concluded from the assignment that
leadership is becoming one of the crucial element in improving the performance of management

as well as building organizational capacity. The other fact which has been discovered in above
section is that leaders can influence other people to develop leadership qualities or skills by
setting an example for them or by a role model for their followers.
