LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND DETERMINATION OF MODERN APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP

Vuk Mirčetić

Abstract


The multidimensional leadership process did not arise in the modern era, it occurs for centuries, while researchers have analyzed it since the early twentieth century. Contextual factors change and that always forces organizations to recognize them and to adapt to them or to cope with them. Every organization has the need for effective leaders because in this way they can take advantage of the maximum effort of their employees and thus speed up their business. Many theorists have tried to understand, define and unify the relationship in which an individual exercise influence on a group of individuals in order to achieve a certain goal. For this reason, numerous theoretical approaches to the complexity of the leadership process have arisen. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, several hundred definitions of leadership were created, and today researchers and practitioners do not agree on the existence of a universal definition of leadership. Through decades of research, the approach to leadership is changing and evolving. Different theories and approaches to leadership have been analyzed through a diverse theoretical overview and comparison. The aim of the paper is to provide an insight into the evolution of leadership, to present an overview of contemporary leadership theories and to determine a modern approach to leadership.
