Leadership is a dynamic process in a group (or team), where one individual influences the others to contribute voluntarily to the achievement of group tasks in a given situation. According to Drucker, leadership is ‘the lifting of a man’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a man’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a man’s personality beyond its normal limitations’. Over many years of leadership research has showed that an organization's success depends on its managers' leadership. A large proportion of leadership research has been devoted to the question of what constitutes effective leadership behavior.
