Leadership Styles

Introduction

Leadership is the set of capabilities that a person has to influence the minds of people in a group of persons, making this team to work with enthusiasm, but the reality is different, in achieving goals and objectives. It is also understood as the ability to take initiative, manage, hold, promote, encourage, motivate and evaluate a group or team. In business management leadership is the exercise of executive activity in a project effectively and efficiently, whether personal or institutional management (within the administrative process of the organization). According to the Dictionary of the Spanish Language (1986), leadership is defined as the direction, leadership or leadership of a political party, social group or other community. The Dictionary of Behavioral Sciences (1956) defines it as the "qualities of personality and ability to promote the guidance and control of other individuals" (Peter, p. 34-38).

Other definitions are: - "Leadership is an interpersonal influence attempts directed through the communication process, the achievement of one or more goals". The philosopher Hugo Landolfi defines leadership as: "Leadership is the exercise manifestations of updates and refinements of a human being, called leader, who by their action is placed at the service of achievement, through a mission, one or more objectives proposed by a vision. This vision must be aligned and necessarily subordinate to the ultimate good of man. The targets proposed by the vision should include and consider those that are individual-objectives of each of the people who make up the leadership team, together with those who are organizational" (Peter, p. 34-38).

This paper would focus on the study of the different leadership styles by giving examples of various leaders in relation to these leadership styles.

Among those who have broken with such excitement, we find, surprisingly, Charles de Gaulle, when he wrote that the essential trait of a leader is character (Peter, p. 34-38). It will return several times in his book The Edge of the sword. Appreciate the rationale and conduct of his remarks: "The difficulty attracting the man of character." Further, he adds: "The man of character incorporates his own person the rigor in the effort. Subordinates feel it and sometimes they groan. Moreover, such a leader is remote, because the authority is not without prestige or prestige without distance". Finally, the decision is sociological: "A kind of ground swell pushed to the fore man of character". The general conclusion: "Vienna crisis is the one that we follow, which removes the burden of its own arms and carries on his back" (Tittemore, James, p. 42).

Here, lyrically, a clear understanding of situations and qualities of the leader. It is in the worst moments as the head rises to the top of the other to become a great man. The leader sums up his own ...
