A good leadership theory that can be applied to the problem of domestic violence is that of transformational leadership. This is a kind of leadership approach that leads to constructive changes in those who utilize it. Transformational leaders are usually lively, passionate and fervent. Not only are these leaders worried about and caught up in the process; they are also centered on assisting every person in the group to succeed (Cherry, 2011).
There are four dissimilar workings of transformational leadership:
Intellectual motivation -- transformational leaders not only confront the status quo; they also persuade ingenuity among those involved. The leader persuades those involved to discover new manners of doing things and new occasions to learn.
Individualized deliberation -- transformational leadership also entails providing support and encouragement to the people involved. In order to promote compassionate associations, transformational leaders keep the lines of communication open so that those involved feel...
Inspirational drive -- transformational leaders have an apparent idea that they are capable to communicate to those involved. These leaders are also capable to assist people experience the same fervor and inspiration to accomplish these objectives.
4. Idealized authority -- the transformational leader serves as a role model for those involved. Because people trust and admire the leader, they imitate the leader and internalize their principles (Cherry, 2011).
If efforts to end violence against women and children are to be successful, quality leadership is required. The directors and administrators of the agencies that are in place to help these people must be well equipped to manage organizations, advocate for change in policy and law, and hold a clear understanding of the things in society that allows violence to continue (Transforming Leadership through Education, 2008).

Leadership Theory in a Changing and Globalizing Marketplace Modern business practice is permeated by the complexities of a changing world.

Leadership theories are many, but the most common include the trait theory, which assumes that different people inherit the qualities and also traits of leadership and later suit for the position of leadership. The characteristics related to the trait theory are behavioral and personality
The benefits of high-quality relationships come from relational resources (Wright, et al. 2005) they create. Such resources include durable obligations (e.g., arising from feelings of gratitude, respect, and friendship), network contacts and connections (including privileged access to information and opportunities, social status, and reputation of influential others), and the ability to have open information exchanges with those around them (Valle & Halling, 1989).

Ethical leadership also entails role modeling through noticeable actions. Trustworthiness is seen as a result of ethical behavior rather than an attribute of ethical leaders themselves. Authentic leaders maintain that people have to act in concert with their deep personal and moral values and beliefs, but instead of centering on intrapersonal courses like self-awareness and self-regulation, the chase of ethical values on a normal basis is professed as morally
