    Leadership at times can be a complex topic to delve into and may appear to be a simple and graspable concept for a certain few. Leadership skills are not simply acquired through position, seniority, pay scale, or the amount of titles an individual holds but is a characteristic acquired or is an innate trait for the fortunate few who possess it. Leadership can be misconstrued with management; a manager “manages” the daily operations of a company’s work while a leader envisions, influences, and empowers the individuals around them.

    Up until very recently, one would be hard pressed to find in the leadership literature a general model of leadership development (Luthans&Avolio2003).Even more difficult to find is evidence-based leadership development. Specifically, what evidence is there to support whether leaders or leadership can be developed using one or more specific theories of leadership? It appears that leading large-scale organizations is more complicated than most current leadership theories and practitioner books would suggest. Part of the reason some authors are able to identify a limited number of things to be successful, such as Collins (2001), is that the purpose of their research was to identify what was different between the research group and the control group. The problem with focusing on only what is different is that it fails to identify those things that are essential to success, but were common to both groups. The danger is that people might think they can do only the few different things and still succeed.

    When considering the term management, there has always been a common miss conception that this automatically makes an individual a leader. Leadership is only a single element of the management role. Many times managers are more comfortable utilizing a particular leadership style. While this may work well the majority of the time, certain employees or situations may require a different approach. Good leadership requires that the individual recognize the need for change to motivate their employees to accomplish the task at hand or to reach common goals. Understanding the importance of leadership is essential. However, the key element to focus on is what steps can be taken to improve one’s leadership capabilities. For many individuals this may be a difficult question to answer and may only be possible through self-assessment and reflection.
