This thesis is about how ideology affects the way Leadership literature measures good and bad Leadership qualities. The paper argues that ideological influences in Leadership literature, from a teacher perspective, complicate the understanding of Leadership in its practice and theory. The methodological tool used in this thesis is an idea- and ideology analysis approach applied on Leadership literature that is used in teacher education. A theoretical discussion about the definition of Leadership and its possible ideological connotations sets a frame for measuring ideological influences in the texts. The analysis from the textbooks showed clear signs of ideological influences when talking about Leadership.

The purpose of the present study was to get further knowledge about the relationship between transformative and transactional Leadership in the context of employee ?s well-being, as well as the relationship between the components of respectively Leadership and employee?s well-being. The study also aims to gain knowledge about previous research on the transformational and transactional Leadership and employee well-being and if it?s applicable in the Swedish culture. The few studies that studied the relationship between transactional Leadership and the well-being of employees have found a negative relationship or found no relationship at all.

Similarities in earlier research between Leadership styles and communication forms were found, partly concerning relations and partly concerning work assignments. Our approach was based on the notion that there could be a correlation between the manager2019s choice of communication mode (informal/formal) and Leadership style i.e. Relation-Oriented Behaviour Leadership style/Task-Oriented Behaviour Leadership style. A gender perspective was used in the research. The method was quantitative with a questionnaire to women managers (N=78) in the private and the public sectors.

Through our study we have found that there are moresimilarities than differences in Leadership styles. The dominant Leadership style of managers in both private and public sector is the democratic Leadership style, often in combination with other styles; most notably the authoritarian Leadership style. The charismatic Leadership style doesn't seem to be popular in neither private nor public sector.Title:                                                                              A study of Leadership styles in public and private sector Course:                                                    Bachelor Dissertation - LeadershipAuthors:                                                  Milos Kostic and Rudina ShabaniAdvisor:                                                   Ingemar WictorKeyword:                                                Leadership style, public, private, LeadershipProblem formulation:          What differences and similarities in Leadership styles are there between managers in private companies and managers in public companies?Purpose:                                                  Our purpose has been to find which similarities and differences there are in Leadership styles between managers in private sector and managers in public sector.Theoretical framework:       After studying the theory of Leadership, we found four different Leadership styles relevant to our study.

Leadership is about synchronizing people into doing actions together to reach a common goal. To be able to do such thing you have to be a good leader. A mutual feature between good leaders is a good self awareness in order to be able to lead others. By letting others evaluate the features of a leader it can give a good self image of the leaders? Leadership.

In this day of age there is no clear definition of what Leadership is and exactly what it means. Though something that all existing definitions of Leadership have in common is that, it is a process of influence where the leader exerts influence over their subordinates. The concept of Leadership can at first glance be seen as a clear substance that is easy to understand. However, this is not the case when one delves into the subject and begins to realize that Leadership is a complex concept which includes a variety of things. How to best exercise Leadership is a divided perception that may be completely different, depending on whom you ask the leader or the follower.In this paper the aim is to explore the Leadership within the company Lycamobile located in Sweden, with respect to management.

Leadership is essential for every company. Its strength or weakness of direction, clarity, and evaluation affects success or failure of its organization. With the complex structure of the big and global companies today Leadership is more challenging. The traditional view of Leadership, with the single individual possessing all the competences and skills, is therefore being challenged by an alternative way of Leadership, a shared Leadership. Existing research on the subject is still scarce, which makes further studies in this field important.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the attitude of four teachers to Leadership in the classroom. The main research questions asked were:What are the teachers` views on Leadership in the classroom?What does good versus  bad Leadership mean to the teachers? What factors influence the teachers' Leadership in the classroom, according to themselves?The method used is the qualitative method and interviews, which is my empirical material, I relate to different theories and previous research of Leadership.The curriculum for the compulsory school system, the pre-school class and the leisure-time centre, Lpo 94, says a lot about how both the school and the teacher must pursue a democratic activity; the teacher must have a democratic Leadership in the classroom (Lpo 94, s. 5). At school, the pupils should be met with respect, they should feel safe and be motivated to learn.

This study of Leadership is comprised of two parts. The first part presented in this study is a theoretical study of Leadership and the second part is an empirical study. The empirical study is comprised of six qualitative interviews that examine the perception of Leadership among educators working at a school in the inner city.The work is based on the following issues; Do educators think that there is a link between educational work and Leadership? Do educators see a link between Leadership and goals, and guidelines that are written in Lgr11 and the Education Act? Does the perception of Leadership depend on what training the educators have?In this study I use a hermeneutical approach where I try to create an understanding of the interviewees by interpreting their responses, actions and opinions during the interviews.The material gained from the empirical study has been analyzed and interpreted and then related to the theoretical study. The results show that Leadership is something that everyone in the school system is in need of whatever their education.

The concept of Leadership development plays an important role within the modern organization. As a result of the increasing interest in developing Leadership competencies, investments in Leadership development programs are becoming a common part of business strategies. However, the return on those investments is seldom evaluated. The reason for this is considered to be the complexity created by the many factors that influence Leadership but have no relation to the program. This is a case study based on interviews with participants from a one-year Leadership development program that was carried out at AB Previa.

In the 1960?s, Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard developed a theory called Situational Leadership. Situational Leadership is a model where the leader analyses the needs of the situation and the needs of the people to be led. After analysing the situation, decision is made on what Leadership style to adopt. The Situational Leadership model was developed in a company environment.

The purpose of this study is examine how Afghan women experience Leadership in Afghanistan and how they perceive their existence and involvement in the country?s development?s process. The study is limited to the women Leadership and its diffculties in the afghan culture, tradition and religion. Based on men?s and women?s perspective, I want to examine how they look at women?s Leadership and its different problem in the afghan society.

The aim of this study was to investigate Leadership in public health care. The methods used were shadowing and semi-structured interviews. The shadowing involved observing the shared Leadership of two head nurses in an administrative management position of a ward in their daily work during two weeks. The observation was supplemented by ten semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis of the data was carried out and the result indicated that shared Leadership is a form of Leadership well suited for an organisation as big and complex as the clinic where the study took place.

In today?s tough business environment the need for good and efficient leaders are becoming more and more important. The businesses are in constant change, the world is more unpredictable and the competences of the employees are much greater today, which also calls for a new type of leader, a leader who not only is authoritarian, but also possesses soft skills. In this environment where there is this greater focus on leaders, Leadership developments have emerged and increased in number over the last ten to twenty years. They try to develop leaders in all domains of their life, both professional and personal and the model we work with in this paper is Total Leadership, this model implies that you try to accomplish being a better leader throughout your whole life as a leader, to be whole, genuine and innovative, no matter career or position in life.
