Document Summary
To understand leadership, we need to understand authority is the right to perform or command; it comes with the job. People who pursue personalised power power directed at helping oneself as a way of enhancing their own selfish ends. Trait approach to leadership attempt to identify distinctive characteristics that account for the effectiveness of leaders. During the 1980s, kouzes and posner surveyed more than 20,000 people about personal traits they admired in their superiors: honest, forward looking, inspiring, competent. Project globe(global leadership and organisational behaviour effectiveness) is a massive ongoing attempt to develop empirically-based theory to describe, understand and predict the impact of specific cultural variables on leadership and organisational processes and the effectiveness of these processes. Behavioural leadership approaches attempt to determine the distinctive styles used by effective leaders the combination of traits, skills and behaviour that leaders use when interacting with others.
