From ancient times, scholars have proposed theories of leadership to explain why certain leaders like; (Kings, Religious Leaders, and Military Leaders) were effective and successful, whereas others were not. ... Actually, there is no single map for effective leadership, nor is there a single answer, the rules change depending on the situations and conditions. Every leader has its own traits and personal beliefs, if you take all the characteristics from every effective leader and put them on a list, you would probably find that although different from each other, all leaders have some of these characteristics incorporated into their leadership style. ... This paper will look into these beliefs and try to show a relationship between corporate success and personal character traits by studying different characteristics that lead to effective leadership. ...
The “Dual-Dimensional Approach” created by Stephenson, studies leadership style based on two dimensions; people-orientation versus productivity-orientation and control-orientation versus creativity-orientation. ... From these two dimensions, four different leadership styles can be derived by comparing the opposites of each dimension. ... This is probably the less effective leadership style, with high emphasis on productivity and control. ... The last two leadership styles are by far more productive because they involve the creativity instead of control. ... The forth and most productive leadership style is the “Visionary Strategist”, it focuses on creativity and productivity. ... Leadership style is not the only thing that differentiates successful leaders from unsuccessful one, personal philosophy and beliefs have to be considered.
