HOME WORK (Chemers M.

1997) An integrative theory of leadership describes" Leadership as a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task. The Oxford Dictionary also describes Leadership as the action of leading a group of people or an organization to achieve set goals. Another popular definition of leadership is the process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal ( Northouse's 2007 Pg.3). The U.S military definition for leadership is a process by which a soldier influences others to accomplish a mission (U.S Army 1983). From all the above definitions about Leadership, it is observed that they all have one process in common- a person influences others to get something achieved. How do these persons carry out that process?. By applying their knowledge and skills which is termed as process leadership( Jago, 1982). (Allemann, M.W 2013) Leadership Insight, discusses the various types of leadership styles in her article. She argues that "leadership is not a 'one size fits' all thing". and therefore there are many ways that leaders can successfully lead people and that choosing the right style of leadership for a particular situation can help them to be effective leaders at the long run. Transformational Leadership- This is a type of leadership style normally associated with the business world which is found to be the most effective approach. Leaders found in this style inspire people with a shared vision of the future by setting clear goals and motivating them to attain it. They communicate clearly with their teams and expect the best from everyone and themselves which leads to motivation and high productivity. Autocratic leadership- This type of leadership style focuses on complete power over their teams. Leaders are tyrannical and dictators ;they don't take into account the views of their subordinates. Even though its efficient thereby having tasks completed quickly, it is not embraced by others on the team. Democratic Leadership- In this style, team members are included in decision making process thereby encouraging creativity and participation. This ensures high job satisfaction and motivation to work hard.

Laissez-Faire Leadership- It encourages its members to work on their own. They are given the freedom to work and set their own deadlines. This leadership style can be most effective when team members are experienced and also constant supervision and feedback from the leader. Task Oriented leadership- This focuses on getting a particular task accomplished. It can more or less be considered as autocratic because leaders define the work, roles ,plan and organize everything that is been done. Leadership as a precursor to war. (Kellerman B 2013) and (Noam C 2207) both agree to the fact that leadership styles had a tremendous impact on wars. According to ( Kellerman B 2013) she focuses her attention on how people exercise power, authority and influence other people. She compares the thoughts of philosophers who had the same ideology that people in their natural state are rapacious and aggressive(Hobbes 1588-1697) and that without strict political arrangements and rule by leader with an iron fist would inevitably descend into chaos and war. ( Kaldor M) also shares her ideas to support that leadership was a major factor to wars. (Kaldor M) argues that the claim for power on the basis of a particular identity-be it national, clan, religious, or linguistics in one sense causes wars. (Addison 2014) also shares a common idea to the above. He carefully argues that mans desire to achieve certain goals have a major role to causes of wars. from the observation he conducted, he finds out that the greedy nature of humans to acquire certain gains through the practice of bad leadership styles causes wars. Tracing conflicts back to leadership ( Kalshoven F, Leisbeth L 2009) both trace conflicts to leadership as far back to certain era. They describe former conflicts between Iraq and Iran, Ethiopia and Eritrea just to name a few and trace them to leadership. (Kellerman B 2013) also argues his ideas that leaders behave badly because of whom they are and what they want. In this case they end up descending chaos and war.(Lee Chai and Bargh A.J 2001) trace the origin of power as far back as the days of Adam and Eve and that famous tree of knowledge. They discussed how a command was given by a powerful figure. (Lee Chai and Bargh 2001) made reference to( Kipnis D) Using power-Newton's second law by quoting from the (Hobbesian 1968) that humans

were programmed by our desires and by our dependence on other people to satisfy these desires. (Waite D , Allen D 2003) also share their view on such practices associated with leadership styles thereby causing conflicts. They describe corruption and abuse of power as major practices by certain leaders to amass wealth fame and power at the expense of their subjects. Implications for poor leadership (Npr News 2014)- focuses on some effects of poor leadership styles. According to (Npr 2014) countries are suffering from major problems such as loss of lives, health issues, hunger and many more that are caused by wars. It names Syria, and parts of Africa as examples . According to( Kielty M 2014) from Npr news several years of war in Uganda have left children suffering from nodding syndrome. (Summerfield D 2002) conducts a survey on the effects of war on people. He deduces from the report that most victims suffer vengeance due to traumatism or brutalization. (Dr. Kaur Hanspreet 2013) also agrees that wars have serious implications on people .He names draught, famines, diseases, and death as such disastrous consequences
