Abstract:
If we a take deep look at the law enforcement’s history, many styles have been used to lead employees, groups by leaders coming from democratic to transactional. The earlier styles that were prominent and rigid among the leaders are Autocratic leadership and Laissez-Faire leadership. These leaderships slowly evolved with perspective modulations to Participative (democratic) leadership, which bifurcated into …show more content…
The main characteristic required for a good leadership is the ability to be selfless while delivering the services to the organization and the followers and the ability to be a responsible personality (Clark, 1997).
According to ). Kouzes & Posner (2007), the best leader is the one who is deeply influential and the one who is interested in the follower’s psychology. Understanding the behavioral patterns, one should be able to change/modify the followers to bring the best out of them (Daft). An exemplary leadership is only achieved through shared vision, confronting the procedure, challenging it, influencing others to transform, enabling them to act, encouraging them to attain aspiration, modeling a specific way of living.
Leadership in the law enforcement culture has changed over the decades, but must continue to change in order to address modern day problems. The purpose for this paper is to examine police leadership from a historical and empirical standpoint and discuss possible theories for change.

Clawson (2006) stated the situational approach of leadership is the one in which the leader focuses on the contextual factors of the organization, to make it work accordingly (p. 386).
According to Hersey and Blanchard as quoted by (Clawson, 2006) the situational theory can be identified using a two dimensional grid of task orientation and people orientation. The situational approach used a contingent pattern of task and relations behavior with little evidence that this approached increased the effectiveness of the leader (Yukl, 2006).
The fundamental approach that has been taught to a beginner is the antique and domineering approach in which the goal is task oriented. One should transform one’s own self into a transformational leader with effective leadership. Yukl (2006) described a transformational leader as a leader that affects their followers to make necessary self-sacrifices to realize the mission goals of the organization
