We have provided a project which is based on the concepts of leadership and
management. This project is allotted among four members including me. In this presentation, I
have learnt about various concepts and aspects of leadership as well as management. I have
analysed that leader are the person who influence and motivate employees to work in defined
manner and managers are the person who develop policies and manage employees to lead their
efforts in right direction. I have added various leadership style and approached that are used by
the leaders to lead employees and enhance their contribution in attain organisational determined
goals and objectives (Nsanganwimana, 2018). I have learnt that, Lewin's leadership style consists
three leadership styles such as democratic, autocratic and laissez-faire learning styles that are

goals and objectives. In servant leadership, leaders serve to employees instead of serving by
themselves (Miller, Nelson and Phillips, 2021). I have analyses that, in transformational
leadership leaders inspire and motivate employees to adopt changes and perform in efficient
manner through provides different kind of benefits to them. For employee’s good performance,
leaders provide promotions, bonus and vacations on the other hand for bad performance leaders
provide them demotion. As per my point of view, it encourages employees to perform in
efficient manner and contribute in attaining organisational determined goals and objectives.
According to my point of view, leadership qualities can be learnt through developing
skills and capabilities related to communication, critical thinking, motivating and inspiring others
to perform and leading employees’ efforts in right direction. Through developing these skills, an
