Abstract

When an organization is born, a leader is required to steer it to success. It is the leader whose leadership can make or break the organization. What is leadership in actuality? It is the attitude and manner through which one provides direction to implement plans and achieve goals by way of a tremendous amount of motivation which he pours into the hearts and minds of his people. This was found by Kurt Lewin (1939) who led a group of researchers to identify various manners and styles of leadership. "This early study has been very influential and established three major leadership styles.” (Lewin, LIippit, White,1939).
