Leadership
It is one of the significant concepts in management. It denotes the universal traits that a
leader should adopt. It is the potential to influence the behavior of other human resource. It can
only be applied in a group of individuals. The key aim of leadership is to motivate and mould the
behavior of the individuals for the achievement of a goal. It is a situation-based process
(Antonakis, 2017).
In the business organization, a manger is considered as a leader. He is responsible for
motivating the employees for achievement of organizational goal and objectives. However, a
particular leadership style should be applied only after analyzing the whole situation (Schein,
2010).
