Leadership: Where and What Is Leadership Excellence?

Abstract

Leadership represents the interpersonal component of managerial activity. As such, it has to do with leading people, not directly concerned with technical skills or even making excellent decisions. Included is a discussion of addressing leadership at various levels of the organizational hierarchy, how different tasks and different followers necessitate different leadership styles, and how understanding others and communicating with others represent an art of leadership that is aided by a multidimensional integrative approach to tasks and followers. Keywords: Leadership excellence; Decision making; Organizations; Communications; Leadership; Style; Task demands.
