Leadership is one of the most salient aspects of the organizational context. However, defining leadership has been challenging. The following sections discuss several important aspects of leadership including a description of what leadership is and a description of several popular theories and styles of leadership. This page also dives into topics such as the role of emotions and vision, as well leadership effectiveness and performance. Finally, this page discusses leadership in different contexts, how it may differ from related concepts (i.e., management), and some critiques that have been raised about leadership.

According to the late Jules Masserman, American psychoanalyst and former member of the faculty of Northwestern University medical school, leaders must fulfill three functions: the leader must provide for the well-being of the led, provide a social organization in which people feel relatively secure, and provide a set of beliefs.

Theories of leadership

Students of leadership have produced theories involving traits , situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values , charisma, and intelligence among others.

How a leader of corporation or small business learn to handle the can founding surprieses of this century ?
Q. How a leader of corporation or small business learn to handle the can founding surprieses of this century when the unthinkable arrives with such frequency ?(how do they unpredicted problems?)

A. confounding surprises? That's what leadership (and life) is all about - dealing with the unexpected. Of course, the better organized you and your team are, the less scrambling they'll have to do when something happens. Watch firefighters when there isn't a fire - or the military practising their drills. The fireman's axe is always in the same toolbox - they clean the tools daily - and put them back in the same place. That way, when something happens (it's rarely the same fire at the same location), they know where to get the axe to smash a locked door, etc. Build routines. Get organized. Then when something happens, you know where your tools are.

What are the training requirements for all cub scout leader ranks?
Q. I am looking on the web for a list of all the leader training requirements for each cub scout rank. Every page I see has some general requirements ie. New Leader Essentials and Leader Specific Training. But, I would like to know what the classes are called and have them listed by Leader Rank (Wolf Leader, Bear Leader). I would also like to know what insignia is awarded to the leader after completing each training course. If a book or page were avaiable that looked just like the Cub Scout Handbook with check boxes to show the requirement was complete, that would be perfect! If anybody knows a website that is easy to read and makes all this stuff understandable, please answer. Thank you in advance!

A. The training process is as follows: All leaders view the Fast Start video appropriate for their program (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, or Venture), attend Youth Protection Training (or view it online) and attend New Leader Essentials, which is the same for all programs. Then they complete the Leader Specific Training for the job that they have. For Cub Scouting, the Leader Specific Training is Tiger Cub Leader, Cub Scout Den Leader and Asst. (for Wolf and Bear), Webelos Den Leader and Asst., Cubmaster and Asst., and Pack Committee Members. After completing training for your job you receive a "trained" strip to wear under your position patch. If you change roles you should attend the leader specific training for your new role (ex: if you go from… [cont.]

A. It means that you have extended the reach of your company outside national boundaries. You have grown so big and powerful business wise that you are the acknowledged leader in your industry. Take GMC. It sells cars the world over and has factories and dealerships worldwide. It is for the moment the recognized leader in car manufacturing in the world, with Toyota a close second and closing in.fast. It is globalized in such a way that parts made in Mexico, Australia and England and Canada constitute the makeup of the car that you buy in America, inversely, cars made in America show up in car dealerships from Europe to Africa to China and all over the world. The reason Toyota is growing rapidly surpassing the two other members of the big… [cont.]
