Today's excellent corporations, more often than not, are reflections of their leaders. They have a vision of excellence and have led others to share that vision. Leadership today is not just good management, it is also a matter of establishing values, sharing visions, creating enthusiasm and maintaining focus on a few, clear objectives.
Successful leadership depends largely on who is being led and in what situation. Research supports the notion that different leadership styles ranging from autocratic to employee-controlled may be successful depending on the people and the situation. A manager may be autocratic but friendly with a new trainee; democratic with an experienced employee who has many good ideas that can only be fostered by a manager who is a good listener; and laissez-faire with a trusted, long-term supervisor who probably knows more operations than the manager does.
