When looking at the ten different approaches to the study of leadership when I read about the Charismatic leader I thought of Steve Jobs. He, perhaps better than anyone one in today's business world, sensed opportunities and was able to convey that vision to the employees of his company. He definitely articulated that vision and built trust and loyalty with his employees. There is no question that he achieved those visions and continues to inspire his employees even after his death. He had the ability to envision a product and share that with his people. He did not think small, he thought that his product and services would change the world. His greatest ability was his ability to be innovative and this made his company a leader in the industry. He had the ability to make his people understand and live his vision and the ability to get people to think they needed to have the latest Apple product or service (Henson, 2015). His passion for his company and its people and his ability to inspire trust helped make the company the success it is today.…

Leadership is one of the most hotly debated topics in management studies, social psychology and organizational psychology (Pfeffer 1993). Despite the depth and breadth of debate concerning leadership effectiveness, it remains an elusive construct. As a result, researchers and practitioners have not reached a consensus on a true and concise definition that represents an accurate depiction of effective leadership in all situations and possibilities. Bennis and Nanus (1985, p. 259) maintain that “neither in common parlance nor in the literature on the subject, is there consensus about the essence of leadership, or the means by which it can be identified, achieved or measured”. Although no one perspective is entirely accurate, nor entirely irrelevant, the answer to exceptional leadership remains relatively unclear. For example, does the early 21st century environment demand a different kind of leadership from earlier times? Certainly there has been a move away from ‘command and control’ models of leadership towards more flexible, collaborative and nurturing styles (Bennis 1999). The ability to cope with new and challenging imperatives such as increasing global competition demands the use of new leadership skills (Conger 1993). While the technical skills of leaders are not unimportant, there appears to be a case for emphasizing general management expertise, entrepreneurship an ability to look into the future and the acceptance of responsibility (Savery et al. 1996). And this is exactly why Howard Schultz (Starbucks CEO), appears as one of the greatest leader of our times. In this essay, I’ll try to develop the reasons why I think he is a good leader more deeply. For most leaders, the middle of the road is an alluringly comfortable place. It’s safe, welltrodden, and known. Unfortunately, what it…

For some reasons, the managers’ positions have been seen in a negative way for many years. However, this does not change the essentiality of this position in any organization, especially in business set-ups. There have been a constant confusion between the role of leaders and managers, and what should be clearly established is that these two roles do not share the same meaning. Being a manager does not guarantee that one is already a good leader. However, leaders can be effective managers. This only means that in order for managers to be effective and avoid negative feedback, they should have sufficient knowledge and skills on leadership. Aside from this, managing and leading a company will also have different impacts on the organization, as well as business outputs (Treacy, 2006). Not all of the renowned managers are great leaders, but these two cannot be separated. As a matter of fact, so many supervisors, administrators, and other high-ranking officials in different organizations have been performing their role without being good leaders themselves. It is just that their positions open better opportunities to be leaders. A manager can truly rise from other managers if he or she manages to be an efficient manager and leader at the same time (Bateman & Snell, 2009).…
He created his own yardstick of quality and stuck to perfecting his designs at all costs. He did not get it right every single time but that never made him compromise with best he could provide. He always had his focus fixated on his vision which he reiterated to himself and his team time and again. His love for innovating simplistic designs requires deep understanding and hard work. He never ignored a complexity but with his innate ability to see the unnecessary, he would redefine the problem or approach. It led him to be father of wonderful innovations which did not require any manuals for operations; it led him to be considered as a leader amongst the best entrepreneur in the world.…
