More Definitions: 

More Definitions Leadership is that quality which enables A to get B to do what A wants him/her to do; Leadership is that which occurs when A persuades B that B wants to do what A wants him to do; or Leadership is the process of A and B coming to an agreement about what needs to be done and then A arranging the situation so that B can do it.

The Common Element: 

The Common Element The crucial element in all of these definitions seems to be “an attempt to persuade another person to behave in the way in which the leader wishes him/her to behave”. This element, which is often called “leadership” or “leadership ability”, is seen typically as a set of special characteristics of an individual.

Leadership Types (I & II) : 

Leadership Types (I & II) A leader’s effectiveness in persuading others is not only a function of the individual characteristics but also of situational factors which might include the rewards at his disposal (Type I). The role of an appointed leader, like a department manager, an armed-forces officer, etc. (Type II).

The Search for Leadership Characteristics: 

The Search for Leadership Characteristics Early systematic research into leadership was concerned entirely with those personal qualities and abilities, which for some reason or the other, if present in a large quantity or in a particular combination, were thought to amount to: “leadership quality”.

Continue Intelligence, Educational attainments, Dependability in exercising responsibilities, Activity, Social participation, Socio-economic status, Sociability, (i) The average leader, either elected or appointed, is above average, compared with the group members, on the following characteristics: Stogdill (1948), reviewing some 124 published papers on leadership, summarised them in the following way:

Continue Initiative, Persistence, Knowing how to get things done, Self-confidence, Alertness to and insight into situations, Co-operativeness, Popularity, Adaptability, and Verbal facility.

Continue (ii) The characteristics required for a leader are determined to a large extent by the demands of the situation. (iii) Leaders have been found to be above average on a number of factors specific to well-defined groups, e.g. athletic ability and physical prowess in boy’s gangs and play groups, intellectual fortitude and integrity for eminent leaders in maturity.
