Abstract
The literature on leadership in political, governmental, public, commercial, industrial, social, and community organizations goes back to the early 1900s, and covers a wide range of areas. Almost every conceivable dimension of the topic has been explored, including various perspectives of the concept of leadership, sources and roots of leadership, leadership traits, functions of leaders, and the impact of environments on leadership roles, as well as task-oriented versus people-oriented leadership, among other issues.
