Abstract
During the last two decades leadership has become the main focus of intense interest and research
by scientists and theorists. A large number of leadership models has been developed in order to
define and enable the certain level of business flexibility that is crucial to survive in a new business
environment which is characterized by frequent market change, growing global competition and
technology development together with demographic changes of employees. The purpose of the paper
is to determine the dominant leadership style as well as the advantages and disadvantages in medium
and large organizations in Šibenik-Knin County. For the purpose of this paper, empirical research
was conducted with the goal of defining the leadership styles of top and middle management based
on medium and large organizations. The research was based on the leadership model developed and
established by Likert Renis which is the most used and recognized model for diagnostic determination
of the dominant leadership style. The Likert model is based on six components: leadership, motivation,
communication, decision making, goals and control which determine the four leadership styles:
extreme authoritative, paternalistic, consultative and participative leadership style.
