Any organisation required best leadership activity because without any leadership it is
difficult to handle and motivates employees. UPS company appoints many mangers and
employees and hire one leader for them also to run the work efficiently. Role of leader vis
better than managers because manager manage business but leader manage all
employees(Carroll, 2017). This part of assignment about the quality, skill , attribute of leader.
Leadership have some positive and negative impact because way of leading of every leader is
different and which directly indirectly give impact on the performance of employees.

UPS decide new way of organisation to distribute responsibility so that work of
company become flexible. The new way is to hire leader for particular department so that work
can be managed easily.

nature but mangers have quality of ruling, it have vision range which is short, in this
policies and procedure are implemented.

In business different type of leadership is used so that work can be distributed
according to their types. It depends on the environment of business which h type of leadership
have to adopted because it have some negative and some positive effect.

decision on its own basis, no need to communicate with other. Leader and manager
have authority to order and impose his will on employees. No one can challenge the
decision of them and should have to follow by worker or juniors.
2. Laissez- fair: According to this leadership manger have direct power to supervise their
subordinate and get feedback from them. Employees which have good skill and
knowledge require litter guidelines but not all employees have great quality of
understanding . This kind of leadership is for those employees whose work
performance is not good.

problems and suggestions of employees and take decision accordingly(Peters, 2016).

try to recognise the problems of their employees and provide them proper facility by
creating good work environment in organisation.
2. Provide them good salary and reward and incentives: To motivate employees of their
company give them good salary. If company feel that any employees is giving 100% to
company and giving extra hours or overtime in company than try to raise his salary so
he like to do more work in company. Pay them additional bonus, give leave facility,
recreational facility are given to them. This all increase the efficiency of company and
