There are various steps to become the good leader of the company (Renz and Herman, 2016).
These steps are explained below.
Honesty: To being the successful leader of in the workplace and the personal life the
persons have to become honest towards the other people. The team become what the values and
the belied gives by the leader so the leader is have to be honest in the working conditions. To
become the successful leader most of the leader develop various values and beliefs which they

for being the successful leader. The leader have the ability to explains clearly about the goals of
the business in the task (Rothaermel, 2017). Leader uses the different types of the
communication style which ensure that they speak to the team with the proper effectiveness.
Self managing: It refers to the managing yourself by focusing on the goals of the
business and take the responsibilities to accomplish those goals. The effective management of
the team is not possible if the leader have not self management. To being the successful leader

they have the effectiveness and efficiency to regulate their time, emotions and attention while
leading the team towards the goal so the business. The leader have to be aware strength and
weakness to become the successful leader.
Lead positively: The attitude of the leader must be positive because this leads to the
success and growth by keeping the motivated team in the business. For the successful leader
there is need to change their frustration from the effective and the positive approach. The
positive attitude of the leader makes the effective team that can works to achieve the common
goals of the business.
Being responsible and accountable: The successful leader have the knowledge about
how to use their power and authority effective and accurately so that their employees do not feel
that they are overpowering them (Bush, Bell and Middlewood, 2019). To being the successful
and the effective leader they have to take the accountability and the responsibility of their own
mistakes and expected same for others. The leader must be effective, efficient and productive
while taking the decisions.
Team building: It is necessary to build the team for leading the different and the diverse
group of the people with different skills, motivations and personalities. Successful leader makes
the strong teams for the achievement of the many things in the business such as goals of the
business, increases in the level of the innovation, effective communication.
Confidence: To being the successful leader they have to manage and maintain the
confidence in the skills of the leadership (McCaffery, 2018). The team needs the direction and
the assurance from the leader and the confident leader knows what direction will leads to the
success and growth of the business.
Tailoring the approaches: The leader have to remember that one approach and style of
the leader ship cannot work when they are working with the different types of the people. The
needs of the people is responded by developing the different skills of the leadership (Gopee and
Galloway, 2017). To become the successful leader they have to take time in understanding the
preferences of the each and every person to achieve their needs and wants.
Think strategically: For being the successful leader they have the aims and focus on the
future needs and wants. The leader have the effective and the clear sense of what to do to achieve
the needs in the future by applying the strategic planning in the business.

Development of the good leadership and how.
The development of the effective and the good leadership is possible when the leader
adopts the different styles of the leadership in the process of leading the team members. If the
leader develop their skills and knowledge about how to treat with the team member it will leads
to the success and the growth of the business (Thorpe, 2016). The leader uses the path goal
theory and transformation leadership theory which helps to develop the styles of the leadership
ion the leader. These theories are explained below:
Path goal theory:
The leader uses the path goal theory in their leadership roles and select the behaviour
which is most suitable for the needs and wants of the employees in the working conditions of the
business. These behaviour of the leader help to guide the employees in the most effective manner
and achieve the goals of the business. By adopting the four styles of the path goal theory the
leader may guide and directs the employees towards the success and growth of the task. Path
goal theory have the four styles of the leadership such directive, supportive, participative and
achievement oriented styles (Hallinger, and et.al., 2015). For the development of the leadership
roles the leader uses these styles in their process ans get the success and the growth.
Directive: By using the this style of the path goal theory the leader provides the guideline
to their employees about the process and guides them about what is expected to them and how to
done the task effectively. The leader supervises the employees to make sure that the employees
are work to achieve the goals of the business
Supportive: The leader changes the behaviour as per the well-being and the needs of the
employees. The leader maintain the good and friendly behaviour with the employees. By treating
the team members with the full respect and supports them in their problems encourages the
employees to work with the full efficiency and effectiveness in the business to get the success
and the growth of the business.
Participative: The leader uses this styles to take the ideas and opinion in the decision
making so that they feel motivated and fell that their ideas are also important in the company.
The leader will being the good and the successful by involving the leader in the decision-making
(Bolden, 2016).

Achievement oriented: the development of the good leader is possible when the leader
set the effective and challenging goals for their team members. The leader behaves to expect
from the employees to work in such a manner that they could achieve at the highest level.
The good leader can also be developed by using the transformation leadership theory also
and this theory can also be explained below:
Transformation theory: The leader become the successful also by using the transformation
leadership style in the to guide and directs the employees of the business. The leader also uses
the transformation leadership which inspire the positive changes in the leaders. To become the
good leader the leader try to become the transformation leader because they are more energetic,
passionate and enthusiastic in the working. The leader is the concerned focused to provide the
help to the ll the team member of the business to get the success and the growth of the business
(Armstrong, 2016). The leader follow the four component of the leadership which help to
become the good and the effective leader of the organisation. These four components are
explained below:
Intellectual stimulation: The leader uses this style to challenge the team member to
become more creative and the get the new and the effective opportunities. The success of the
leader is in the hands of the team member.
Individualized consideration: By using the transformation leadership the leader
supports and encourages the employees so that they become the good and the effective leader.
The leader make the effective skills of the communication so that the employees share their ideas
and view without any hesitation and they get the success and growth of the business (Diamond
and Spillane, 2016).
Motivation is inspirational: For the fulfilment of the goals and objectives the leader
gives the effective motivation to their team member so that they work to achieve the goals of the
business.
Idealized influences: The development of the leader is also done by becoming the role
model for the employees of the organisation. The employees and the team member trust and
respect the leader because they listen to their ideas and views in the business.
Difference between leadership and management.
In the leadership and the management there is the big difference because the managing
the people is different from leading the people. There are difference between the leadership and

the management because leadership is the people oriented and the management is the task
oriented system. Leadership refers to the ability and capabilities of the person to motivate,
influence and makes their contribution towards the success and the growth of the business
(Oshagbemi, 2017). The functions of the management aims on the directing and controlling the
activities of the people of the organisation so that they complete the gaols of the business.
The focus of the leadership is leading the people of the organisation whereas the the aims
and the focus of the management is managing the people of the organisation towards the goal so
the business. In the management they reacted towards the changes in the organisation and in the
leadership the leader creates the changes in the business which leads to the success and the
growth of the business in the future. In the leadership the leader uses the motivational styles
which motivates the team members while in the management the managers uses the authoritarian
styles in which the mangers have the authority to guides the employees of the organisation.
Mangers have the good ideas and views in the process and the working of the team members
while in the leadership the leader implements the new and the effective ideas to accomplish the
task.
In the leadership the leader creates the vision for the team member but the manager set
the goals for the employees so that they know what should be done in the future. In the
organisation the manger have the responsibility to operate their four main functions such as
plaining, organising, directing and controlling. Whereas the leader is hold the particular position
in the organisation. The leader is the one who directs the employees towards the success and the
growth of the business while the manager is the one who will works to identify the mistakes of
the business. Mangers have the subordinates in the business but the leader have the followers and
team members. The leaders try to the reach the success of the organisation buy taking the risk in
the business but in the management the manger try to reduce the risk of the business the manager
controls the problems which is happens in the working environment of the organisation (Fischer
and et.al., 2016). In the leadership style of the leader their main focus is on the long term goals of
the business but the in the management the manager focuses on the short term goals of the
business.
In the leadership style the leader is focuses on the learn and develop their style of the
working on the continuous bases but the managers perfect their skills and adopts the proven
behaviours. In the leadership role the leader focuses to build the effective relation between the

stakeholder to achieve the goal and objectives of the business. The manager focuses to set the
effective structure to get the objectives and the gaols of the business. In the management system
the manager make sure that all the systems are in the place to achieve the goal so the
organisation. In the leadership the leader build the trust and the loyalty from the employees. The
leaders have the ideas and the knowledge about who are working for them and they have the
answers of the question of the team member (Swanwick and McKimm, 2017). The leader have
the ability to find the answer of the questions of the employees. The leader is the coach for their
team members but the in the management system the mangers assigns the work to the people and
guides and directs them about how they will complete their work.
Personal experience what learn about the leadership.
I have learned from the leadership styles that for being the successful leader the person
have to changes their behaviour towards the other people. The good and the successful leader is
honest towards their team members. The leader have the ability and the capabilities to motivates
their team members in such as manner that they work to reach the objectives of the organisation.
According to me the leader have to become the effective communicator because if they properly
communicate about the task to their team member it is easy for them to achieve the goals of the
business. According to me the leader must be responsible in using their skills and ability in the
working (Howard-Grenville, and et.al., 2017). I think that the attitude of the leader have to be
positive towards their team members which keeps them motivated and inspire them to work as
per the achievement of the objectives of the business. I think the leader have to self managed
firstly for effective and efficient managing the team. The team should be properly managed if the
leader is managed in their activities and it will leads to the successful operation of the business
According me the development of the leadership style there is the need to adopt the path
goal theory in the business for getting the successful operation of the business. I think that the
behaviour of the leader should be best and effective which fulfils the needs and wants of their
team members. I have learned that the path goals theory of the leadership is the best to motivates
the people of the organisation and leads them towards the goals (Bush, Bell and Middlewood,
2019). I think that the leader have to provide the guideline and directions to the employees of the
organisation so that the task of the organisation done accurately and effectively by the
employees. I learnt that there is the big different in the styles of the leadership and the
management of the business. I can say that from the above study that the leadership is the people

oriented and the management is the task oriented strategies of the business. I can say that the
leadership focuses leading the team members of the business and the management manages the
people of the organisation. I think the proper support given by the leader encourages the
employees and the leader become the successful leader of the organisation.
In my past experience when I was the leader I become the honest and confident leader
which leads to the success of my task. I faces various challenges when I was leading the group of
the people but by adopting the path goal theory in my leadership helps to reach the success and
growth of the task. Ton achieve the success I build the effective team which contributed with
their full efforts and get the success of the task. To become the successful leader I think
strategically to achieve the needs and wants in the future. I lead the activities of the team
members that they get motivated and inspire from my behaviour and works to reach the common
goals. In my leadership role I also uses the transformation style of the leadership in which I can
set the challenges for the team member so that my become more creative and passionate about
the work and get the success. By using the transformation leadership style I become the
successful leader by encouraging and supporting the team member in their difficult situations.
CONCLUSION
From the above study it can be concluded that the leadership and the management is the
two different aspect which are interlinks the leadership guides and directs the function and
process of the management of the business to achieve the greater success and the growth of the
business. The leader focuses to make the effective team in the in the organisation so that they
could motivates and guides them toward the goal, of the business. To become the successful
leader the leader uses the various function sin their roles like, they become the effective
communicator, confident, honest and positive attitude towards the employees of the business.
