The importance of this point lies in the application of the concepts behind the terms and how they apply to running a business.

1.0 INTRODUCTION Leadership is a critical issue and can be understood in different perspectives and different contexts. It would be difficult to give leadership a general definition because many authors have tried without reaching a consensus. “Our images of leadership are entirely personal” wrote Georgiades and Macdonell (1998). In terms of management, Robbins and DeCenzo (2005) referred to leadership as influencing others and possessing managerial authority. "Leadership is interpersonal influence, exercised in a situation, and

Leadership certainly isn’t gained by election or appointment. Having position, title, rank, or degrees doesn’t qualify anyone to lead other people. And the ability doesn’t come automatically from age or experience.” (Maxwell-Right, 7) The key to becoming a successful leader is not by focusing on making other people follow you, but by becoming a person that they desire to follow. “A leader is great not because of his or her power, but because of his

There are three different types of leaders. Some are teachers, which means they are rule breakers and value creators. Some are heroes, which means they are responsible for great causes and noble work. Then some are rulers, which are motivated principally to dominate other and exercise power. If a person is considered a leader they can fall into one or more of the three types of leaders. For example Adolf Hitler was considered a ruler.
