Leadership summary
So - there you have it. Leadership is a complex issue but from all the information you have gathered from working your way through this topic, I hope that you can see that there are certain key behaviours that appear to be the essence of being a good leader.
Key points
Transactional leadership: Someone that is task-orientated and focussing on deadlines and 'getting the job done'.
Transformational leadership: Someone that influences, motivates, stimulates and considers their workforce.
Level 5 leadership: Someone that combines individual capability, humility, team management skills, managerial capabilities and heroism.
Spiritual leadership: Someone that is concerned with being a good person and uses 'love' to bring out the best in people.
Distributed leadership: Someone that is only the leader when the situation and their expertise require it.
Authentic leadership: Someone who is honest, open and always 'practices what they preach'.
Narcissistic leadership: Someone that is ruled by their personality and ego, usually charismatic individuals.
Servant leadership: Someone that is focussed on people and always puts people first before themselves.
