The relationship between leadership and power is defined as well as the leadership domain that consists of three elements – leader, follower and situation. A few different leadership approaches are considered, with an emphasis on their application in modern organizations. These are as follows: the approach based on leader's qualities; the approach based on leader's skills; the approach based on style; situational approach; transformational leadership; path-goal theory; and some newer leadership styles (training, supreme leadership, leading by serving, entrepreneurial leadership).
