Leadership styles

1. Leadership Keith Davis , “Leadership is the process of encouraging and helping others to work enthusiastically towards their objectives. Leadership must extract cooperation and willingness of the individuals and groups to attain the organisational objectives.” George R. Terry , “Leadership is a relationship in which one person influences others to work together willingly on related tasks to attain what the leader desires.” Koontz and O’Donnell , “Leadership is the process of influencing people so that they will strive willingly towards the achievement of group goals.”

2. Leadership is not an act or set of acts, it is a process. Leadership is not just influencing, yet it involves influencing others through leadership. While between the leader and followers, the influence is mutual, together, they influence the environment around them in some way. Leadership goes beyond goals. There is a purpose a cause which a broad enough to create a vision that connects followers who might have a different individual goal.
