together with professional progress. Leadership is an essential factor of management that assist
an individual or operations of the business in maximizing efficiency as well as to attain the set
operational goals. Leadership has varied meanings according to research conducted by various
authors. Therefore, this research paper aims at examining the aspect of leadership by focusing on
its theories and factors that make a good leader. This research paper examines different
quantities of leadership by focusing on different views of various researches. The study has been
aggravated by the principle that no single notion expands further than the excellence of leaders in
different sectors such as education, manufacturing, or even in the transport sectors. The wider
target of this hypothetical discussion is to determine the wider framework of leadership along
with its efficiency towards the administration of the different organization. Therefore, having
effective leadership in the operations of an organization is significant to the success of every
business operation.
Introduction
Leadership has been defined by Soria, Hussein, and Vue (2014) to be the technique
useful for the motivation of a group of individual to act towards attaining the shared target. In
different business settings, the idea of leadership means the process of directing workers together
with coworkers with the approach to attain different needs of the organization. Besides, Mango
(2018) recorded that the definition of leadership by Gün and Aslan (2018) only captures the
significance of being capable of inspiring other workers and being prepared to perform their
operations rather than meeting the needs of the organization. However, according to a
presentation by Kalagar (2016), effective leadership concentrate on ideas that are original or

borrowed, but it does not occur unless those ideas can be communicated to different individuals
in the manner that engages them enough to act as the manager wants them to act. But even more
simply, Allio (2016) recorded that leadership to be the inspiration as well as director of the
actions of a leader is an individual in the group that has the combination of personality.
In business operations, leadership has been reported by Black (2015) to be linked to the
different performance of operations, and any description of leadership has to take into account.
However, Kaarbo and Hermann (2018) were of the contrary opinion that leadership is not just
about achieving profit in operations of different companies. The author records that individual
that is viewed as effective leaders are those that increase bottom vines of the companies in which
they operate. Therefore, according to the same article by Nilson, Fels, and Gopaul (2016), it is
reported that if an individual in the position of leadership does not focus on meeting the profit
expectations as set by the board or management team of the organization, then they risk being
fired from the organization or having their contract being terminated. Conversely, from the
definition of leadership by different authors, it is clear that leadership aspect in operations of
organization tends to be used interchangeably with management (Soria, Hussein, and Vue 2014).
It is clear that management is defined to be structure of company’s operation as its leadership or
to individuals that are managers as the leader in various teams of management within the
organization.
Leadership in most business setting requires characteristics that extend beyond the duties
of management. Luria and Berson (2015) argued that for an individual to be effective, and then
every leader has to manage different resources at their disposal in an effective manner. However,
Wegner (2017) was of the similar view as they stated that leadership also comprise of
communicating, supervising, and inspiring just to list the few as primary skills every leader has
