Working Definition
• It is something that can be recognized but difficult to define.
• In identifying the leader formal title and assigned roles each person in the organization is important
• However, you would notice, in fact, the identification is wrong because he is not influential.

Leadership style: What do leaders do?
• The trait approach focuses on who leaders are.• It is suggested that this approach has to be
supplemented by examining what leaders do.• Although all the people are not born with “right
stuff” they can try to do “the right thing’’.• We have to concentrate on “what leaders do
that make them effective leaders”.
