The attitude of the followers toward the leader is another significant indicator of leader effectiveness. Research on performance-oriented and relationship-oriented behavior gave evidence that both the dimensions of behavior are necessary for leadership effectiveness (Dhar & Mishra, 2001, p.256). One thing that has proven consistent throughout the research of Dhar & Mishra is that regardless of the level of management there are certain characteristics that are necessary throughout in order for that person to be an effective leader. The characteristics that are consistent regardless of managerial level are Ability to facilitate, ability to influence, ability to be accountable, ability to build teams, ability to negotiate, ability to reward, ability to manage time, interpersonal orientation,...

In contrast, there was a list of skills stated to be necessary depending on ones organization (Dhar & Mishra).
In conclusion, one could state that even though there are different levels of management there are requirements that are necessary components regardless of level or organization. One can also see what some on the necessary components are that make an effective leader. The challenges are actually common regardless of level; however, there are differences in how those challenges can be corrected depending on authority and ones knowledge of that particular situation.
