Style plays an intricate part in how leaders motivate, influence subordinates and accomplish objectives. Variations of personality and leadership presentations are precisely what determine positive or negative outcomes. Just as circumstances vary, approaches to matters must also adapt. In other words, there is no specific type of leadership that is applicable to every situation. Thus, it is incumbent upon overseers to acquire knowledge, skills and impart information in a manner that is easily understood by workers. “Leaders apply their skills and knowledge and motivate others to work harder and achieve certain goals. Leadership skills can be learned, but the knowledge which a leader possesses is influenced by certain traits and attributes like character, ethics, values and beliefs” (Bhattacharyya).
