Business leadership:
here’s what you need
to know
By David Kiger
The concept of business leadership refers to the ability or the process
through which a company's leader has an influence to meet the needs
and goals of the company.
Types of business leadership
Transactional leadership is the necessary one, based on
mathematics, processes and rewards, but it is not enough to create a
great company.

Transformational leadership is the one that relates to
personal value, it is the terrain of the dreamer and it turns
into the great differencing factor between companies, given
the fact that, without the first one, there is nothing to do, but
without this one there's nothing transcendental to do.
Here's why business leadership is important: it seeks to
develop a company to its fullest potential as well as its
employees.
There are terms that are closely related to business
leadership and it is necessary to study them to see what do
they have in common with business leadership and how
they complement each other.
 Business leadership and organizational leadership are
complementary terms even though they mean different
things.
 Business leadership and teamwork: It is absolutely necessary
for the business leader to create an optimal workteam
through constructive and enriching tools.
 Business leadership and emotional intelligence: In business
leadership there is also an emotional component that the
leader has to control, hence the importance of him or her to
develop skills that will allow him or her to understand and
identify his or her emotions and those of his team.
Since business leadership aims to develop the greatest potential
in a company and its employees, we can safely say that
companies no longer need just bosses, they also need leaders.
 Communicative abilities
 Teamwork motivation
 Charisma
 Enthusiasm
 Organization and ability to manage
resources
 A view of the future
 Negotiation abilities
 Creativity
 Discipline
 Active listening
 Honesty
 Strategy
 An ability to make decision

Depending on the nature of the company, certain values,
capacities or skills will be regarded as being more important than
others. There are different types of leadership and the company
must know which of them is more adequate for their business.
Many would disagree, but autocratic leadership is used in many
businesses, in spite of the fact that currently a fear or superiority-
based leadership doesn't work as thought long ago. Even though
results might be obtained, a maximum level of productivity will
never be met and this will also affect the workers negatively.
There are other types of leadership that can work much better,
such as the democratic, charismatic, comparative, situational or
any other one that is not solely based on fear. Today it is
important to know how to value and care for them as an
important asset of the company. However, it is up to each
company to determine this and it also depends on what it aims to
achieve with the utilization of the type of leadership of their
choosing.
Benefits of a good business leadership
 Improves the company's performance
 Short, medium and long term goals are met
 It keeps employees happy and motivated
 Teamwork is encouraged
 Company sales increase
 Company benefits increase
 Work related absences are reduced and headaches are avoided
 The organizational environment improves
 The company overall improves, as well as its interior and exterior
appearance
 The competitivity of the business improves
Many people have the ability to be leaders of other people,
organizations, sports teams, education programs, even families
and different other environments, but business leadership is
based on companies to achieve long term business success. A
company without a good leader can not possibly work as it
should. We have to keep in mind that corporate strategies must
be analyzed and well-designed in order to get everything aiming
towards the well being of the company and the achievement of
corporate goals.
Business leaders manage to put particular interests below the
company's interests, without ever losing sight of the sensibility of
people, in order for them to do the work with pleasure and with
the certainty that the success of the work is also theirs. From
atop the organizational chart, through setting example and
showing dedication, he or she -the leader- becomes the guide
and soul of the company.
A business leader is a strategist, entrepreneur, motivator and
facilitator, who always keeps track of the goals he or she has
traced. He or she must be capable of giving orders and
managing groups, having empathy, communicating easily and
talking to people. However, this ideal leader is quite hard to find.
Different types of leadership can be classified according to
whether their level of sensitivity towards people and the
company's objectives is either weak or acute. When the acute
sensibility is combined within a leader regarding both aspects , a
democratic leader will appear. If the person is weak in both
aspects, the leadership will be care-free. If the leadership is
acute regarding the sensibility of people but weak with corporate
objectives, the leader will be a demagogue, and if these
conditions are inverted, the leadership will be authoritarian. The
type of leadership will adapt itself to the situation, even though it
is preferable for it to be democratic.

Business leadership: here’s what you need to know

Here's why business leadership is important: it seeks to develop a company to its fullest potential as well as its employees. There are terms that are closely related to business leadership and it is necessary to study them to see what do they have in common with business leadership and how they complement each other.

There are different types of leadership and the company must know which of them is more adequate for their business. Many would disagree, but autocratic leadership is used in many businesses, in spite of the fact that currently a fear or superiority- based leadership doesn't work as thought long ago. Even though results might be obtained, a maximum level of productivity will never be met and this will also affect the workers negatively. There are other types of leadership that can work much better, such as the democratic, charismatic, comparative, situational or any other one that is not solely based on fear. Today it is important to know how to value and care for them as an important asset of the company. However, it is up to each company to determine this and it also depends on what it aims to achieve with the utilization of the type of leadership of their choosing.

  • 8. Many people have the ability to be leaders of other people, organizations, sports teams, education programs, even families and different other environments, but business leadership is based on companies to achieve long term business success. A company without a good leader can not possibly work as it should. We have to keep in mind that corporate strategies must be analyzed and well-designed in order to get everything aiming towards the well being of the company and the achievement of corporate goals. Business leaders manage to put particular interests below the company's interests, without ever losing sight of the sensibility of people, in order for them to do the work with pleasure and with the certainty that the success of the work is also theirs. From atop the organizational chart, through setting example and showing dedication, he or she -the leader- becomes the guide and soul of the company.
  • 9. A business leader is a strategist, entrepreneur, motivator and facilitator, who always keeps track of the goals he or she has traced. He or she must be capable of giving orders and managing groups, having empathy, communicating easily and talking to people. However, this ideal leader is quite hard to find. Different types of leadership can be classified according to whether their level of sensitivity towards people and the company's objectives is either weak or acute. When the acute sensibility is combined within a leader regarding both aspects , a democratic leader will appear. If the person is weak in both aspects, the leadership will be care-free. If the leadership is acute regarding the sensibility of people but weak with corporate objectives, the leader will be a demagogue, and if these conditions are inverted, the leadership will be authoritarian. The type of leadership will adapt itself to the situation, even though it is preferable for it to be democratic.
