Abstract According to Horner (1997), "In some cases, leadership has been described as a process, but most theories and research on leadership look at a person to gain understanding." According to Wren (2004), "People found advantages to forming and working together in groups." (p. 6). Classical Leadership started approximately the early 1800 's around the time of the Industrial revolution. The Modernism Era was a new step forward in the studies of management. This model deals with the flexibility in the management.
Introduction According to Horner (1997), "In some cases, leadership has been described as a process, but most theories and research on leadership look at a person to gain understanding. Leadership is typically defined by the traits, qualities, and behaviors of a leader." These are what make a leader, the ability to motivate their employees for their causes or goals. Leadership has changed throughout history, and leadership evolved as the needs arose. When the times and industries changed, so did the approaches to leadership models. Leaders had studies conducted to see how they could best manage their resources, the employees. Through the studies of the environment, the job functions, and employees ' leadership evolved.

According to Wren (2004), "People found advantages to forming and working together in groups." (p. 6). This shows that humans found advantages in joining groups for basic needs as survival and protection. Even in those early times, there was a hierarchical structure in place to be able to coordinate group activity. "Before industrialization, organizations were primarily the household, tribe, church, military, and government." (p.13)
Throughout time and through the different regions of the world, different cultures used similar methods of leadership
