Abstract

Leadership is a mobile activity of group action, in which the subject, in a determined tense, and organizational connotation, acts with the other subjects who are part of the group work, with their own will to devote themselves to the realization of the team's mission. Leadership is a dynamic process and is correlated with the different tasks and demands that are set, the team and the team entities. Leadership as a process involves the leader and all employees, who should be allowed to participate in goal creation and understand that they are important in achieving them. Leadership is based on establishing relationships within the enterprise. Leadership is about change. Managers and employees are responsible for leadership. The most studied factors of leadership are: personal characteristics of the individual who prefers leadership, traits – characteristics of subordinates, characteristics of the environment, and in leadership, classical and modern styles are distinguished. Because of the relevance of leadership, and the success of global companies, we have decided on this project to look at the concept, essence and characteristics of leadership. Particular attention is paid to leadership styles, which are classified differently depending on the literature used. We decided on the classification of classical and contemporary leadership styles – through the examples of world-renowned companies. Leadership involves influencing, without coercing, employees to perform activities related to the strategy. The quality of leadership is based on the personal characteristics of managers, including those that are general to effective leaders and characteristics of the environment in which leadership is performed. Leadership is a dynamic process that is influenced by the changing demands of the task, the group itself, and individual members. It follows that there is no best way to lead, and leaders need to exhibit different behaviors in order to perform their role successfully. Leadership is not limited to just one person. Usually the appointed leader (manager) formally takes care of the group, but he does not necessarily in practice be the leader of the group. Leadership implies respect and belief in teamwork; in the words of one prominent manager, "to lead is to have someone to follow you." That is, leadership implies two sides: a capable manager-leader, who creates a vision, and followers, who embrace the vision and follow the leader's ideas and values.
