Study Leadership is not a new concept at all. The idea of leadership dated back to the primitive period when humans first formed small communities (Bass, 1990). The importance of leadership is out of debate, yet there remains a mystery about what leadership really is and how to conceptualize it. This elusive concept has received numerous definitions that are arbitrary, ambiguous and subjective (Bass and Bass, 2008). Bass (1990) noted, “there are almost as many different definitions of leadership as

Being a leader is about more than simply managing people. It is about leading a team and demonstrating to their employees through the leaders own actions and behaviors the expectations they have of their team. Eleven topics of leadership qualities, responsibilities, and styles will be discussed throughout this paper, and it will demonstrate how many of the concepts are intertwined and how they impact patients, staff, and organizations. For example, organizational climate and culture can significantly
After a review of Knowles five tenets the authors identify that the skills for success in higher education may not have the “interpersonal and adult relational skills” (p. 4) necessary to succeed in teaching adult education. The research question developed was “what
studies, Nystrom (1993) investigating health care organizations, found that employees in strong cultures tend to express greater organizational commitment as well as higher job satisfaction. Despite these few studies, a void appears to exist in literature examining the direct link between organizational culture types and job satisfaction. As a matter of fact, if we look at IBM then every one at IBM is expected to follow three fundamental principles: respect individual, strive for excellence and provide
Although the conceptualizations of authentic leadership can be found many years ago in the literature, the authentic leadership theory is newly emerging and developing from multiple areas of leadership research, positive organization behavior and ethics (Avolio & Gardner, 2005; Northouse, 2013; Walumbwa et al., 2008). The demand for authentic and more accountable leaders may be due to the failure of the banking industry, corporate scandals (i.e. Enron and WorldCom) (Northouse, 2013) and ethical meltdown

Statement of the Problem The main argument of this study stems from women in higher education are still not advancing to top paying jobs as fast as men even after the gender discrimination laws were made illegal. Although legislative policies have aided women in higher education; they are still underrepresented in senior level positions in higher education for various reasons. The first reason is a lack of women in lower-level positions having the opportunity to obtain senior level positions. Nevertheless
of the key variables is characteristic of this literature, which makes synthesis of results challenging. Many judgments must be made about which studies are comparable, which findings (if any) contribute significantly to a conclusion about what this literature says, and perhaps regarding how to transform similar measures collected differently so they can be read side by side. The review of evidence here builds on a series of recent systematic reviews with well-defined search criteria. At least one
