It is human nature that confusions and chaos are sure to result, in any kind of group activity in the absence of an able leader. Whenever there is an organized assembly of people working towards common goals, some type of leadership becomes essential. The concern for leadership has become more acute during the last few decades due to complexities of production methods, high degree of specialization and societal changes in the present organizations.
The success of an organization depends to a great extent upon good leadership. Dynamic leadership can improve the self-esteem of their subordinates and stimulate them to accomplish the set goals in time.
Good leadership leads the group to a higher level of performance through its persistent efforts. It is not always possible to achieve results with force or solely with the exercise of authority. Leadership acts as an aid to authority by influencing, inspiring and initiating actions.
Leadership plays a pivotal role at all levels of management. No organisational structure can provide all types of relationships and people with everything that they may want. Common interests may work beyond the confines of formal relationships. Such informal relationships are more effective in controlling and regulating the behaviour of the individuals to achieve the enterprise goals. Effective leadership increases the understanding between subordinates and administration and promotes collaboration among them The Leader should develop voluntary assistance from his assistants by consulting the group in framing the policies and the line of action and in initiating any fundamental changes in the primary structure of the task. Leadership ought to also use some power whenever necessary, to implement the policies. The leader should give understandable, all encompassing, and lucid instructions to his subordinates.
