1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Leadership is an ageless topic. The word ‘leadership’ is used in two very different ways in everyday conversation. Sometimes, it refers to a process that helps direct and mobilize people and their ideas and at other times, it refers to a group of people in formal position where leadership is expected.
Leadership is influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization. So many people mistake leadership for management but leadership is different.
Management is concerned with planning and budgeting which means establishing steps and time table for needed result and then allocating the resources needed to make that happen while leadership involves establishing directions which means developing a vision for the future and strategies needed to achieve that vision. Leadership can be seen as that process in which one persons sets the purpose or direction for one or more other persons and gets them to move along together with him or her and with each other in that direction with competence and full commitment. Leadership involves accomplishing organizational purpose through people.
Leadership is usually labeled goods or effective when it moves people to a place in which both they and those who depend upon them are genuinely better off and when it does so without trampling on the rights of others.
Leadership is very important in every organization because it is the binding force which leads to organizational effectiveness. It has been acknowledged that the differences between effective and ineffective organization is the quality of leadership that is attained.
The leadership process is a function of the leader, the follower and other situational factors. Leadership is a property of the social relationship because without followers, there cannot be leaders and without leaders there cannot be followers.
