The problem of leadership (leadership) is a problem much discussed decades. There are some people who do have talent leadership, but there are some people who develop leadership skills he has. Leadership style adopted by the managers or leaders, often is a function or part of their own personality. Thus the leaders tend to have leadership styles that match their personalities. And often the style of leadership that used only one or a few only and used for all aspects of the problems faced. Some studies say that a successful leader or successful leaders who have high emotional intelligence includes receiving, assessing, managing and controlling emotions that exist in themselves and everyone around them. Also a good leader is a leader who not only wear one style of leadership alone, but uses several styles of leadership and have the flexibility to adapt to the case or situation.

They will listen to problems or issues faced by the followers and then give inputs. They will tell you what is wrong and what is right from what his subordinates.
