These factors -- self-awareness, self-concept and emotional intelligence -- will also affect one's leadership style. High levels of these traits would make one a perfect candidate for servant leadership, but if levels of these traits differ, they could guide one to other forms of leadership. For example, a leader with relatively poor social skills is unlikely to be a servant leader, and is more likely to pursue a transactional leadership style. Somebody with great social skills but lacking in self-awareness or self-concept could become a "great man" -- style leader or could become an autocrat (or both, in some political cases).
One's self-concept in particular will guide one's leadership style. How one envisions him- or herself is critical to understanding how he or she will define his or her leadership style. Self-awareness contributes the ability to challenge one's assumed constraints and to celebrate one's points of power (Fowler et al., 2010). It has also been identified that the better one understands him- or herself, the better he...
Some leadership styles demand understanding others, some leadership styles do not. Certainly the more traditional, top-down command-and-control approach to leadership is possible even for someone with no self-awareness or social skills. Softer approaches to leadership that are based more on motivating and guiding, up to servant leadership, usually require higher abilities in these soft skills like self-awareness and self-concept. A higher degree of these traits also provides a check on one's leadership style, because they allow for superior introspection, which can be followed by a period of adjustment if one's leadership style has deviated from expectations or self-concept.

Leadership At the core of leadership is the interaction between the leader and the follower. Much of leadership theory can be understood in terms of how leaders and followers interact and what the underlying assumptions are with respect to the roles and nature of leadership. Because of the many different types of leaders, and successful examples thereof, leadership scholarship has developed multiple branches that seek to explain leadership, but no one
Leadership For any project, the first step is to inspire people to want to work on the project. There are few more powerful motivators than inspiration. Inspiration breeds creativity, innovation, hard work, determination and other attributes that comprise the more functional elements of leadership.
