In general, all human beings are meant to be leader—either for the society, group or organization, family or even for him himself. The way we lead is apparently different; each of us has our own style in practicing leadership.

Leadership style is the behavioral manner and way of approach of providing information, direction, plan implements, and other people motivation.It has been a long time after some famous researchers identified different styles of leadership. At that time, the study was very influential and took very desperate efforts.

A lot of trials on supervising selected people expressing the way they lead others did not reach the goal of the research. There were too many differences and unpredicted results and process (even in the middle of the process) that drew the research to fail and almost caused all researchers desperate. Then in several months, other systems and methods were applied to continue monitoring people characters in expressing the way of leadership.

This time these researchers did not use selected people and special room for the analysis; it was done more outside in the public places with real leaders and certain people on the way of how they lead others. This time the procedure was carried out without being noticed by the people or leaders as the subjects.

And the result was extremely excellent; these leaders performed so naturally without being forced or playing a role. And at the end, from these all tiring processes and desperate efforts, there established three main leadership styles. The three major leadership styles are (1973):

1. Authoritarian or autocratic

2. Participative or democratic

3. Delegative or Free Reign

Even though great leaders could use all of these three styles in their practice, there must be one of them gets to be dominant; whilst the other styles don’t tend to work well.

In achieving ourselves to the comprehensible leaders and gain the reputable leadership quality, we should apply basic principles of how good leadership could be. There are, in general, eleven principles of leadership to help us be, know, and do:

1. Knowing ourselves then seek for self improvementIn order to know ourselves, we need to understand our attributes: be, know, and do. Seeking for self improvement means to continually strengthen our attributes. We could get into this principle by accomplishment through self-study, reflection, formal classes and interaction with others.

2. Being technically proficientAs a leader, we are supposed to know our duty as well as to have a solid familiarity with our employees and their tasks.

3. Seeking for responsibility and taking responsibility for our actionsSearch for ways to lead our organization to better levels and heights. And when things are drifted unexpectedly – as they always do sooner or later, do not blame others. Best steps to do are to analyze carefully the situation, to take corrective action, and, when thing go along well again, to move on to the next challenge.

4. Making sound and timely decisionsIn applying to this principle, we should apply good problem solving, decision making, and planning tools.

5. Setting examples. "Be a good model for your own employees" suggests Sean Adams of Motivation Ping. In expecting them to follow our style, they must not only hear what they are expected to do, but also see. We must become the change we want to see

6. Knowing our people and looking out for their well-beingThis principle teaches us to know human nature and the importance of sincere care toward our workers.

7. Keeping our workers up-to-date with informationIt is important to know how to communicate with not only our workers, but also the other key people and the seniors.

8. Developing a sense of belonging and responsibility in our workers. A good step at this principle is by helping to develop good character traits that will help our workers undergo their professional responsibilities.

9. Ensuring that tasks are understood, accomplished and supervisedCommunication is the key to this responsibility.

10. Training the whole assets as a teamAlthough many leaders their organization, department, section, etc. a team, they are not really teams – they are just a group of people doing their own jobs.

11. Applying the full capabilities of our organizationAfter developing a team spirit, we will be capable of employing our organization, department, section, etc. to its fullest capabilities.
