The key issues from this topic is to be able to recognise there is a difference between a Leader and a Manager. This idea is unlikely to be assessed in depth however a passing knowledge of it is required. The changing nature of what managers do is also covered. (Bennis, Mintzberg, Fayol, Handy, Drucker) The general idea that managers should be able to adopt different styles of management in order to have the maximum effect. The different factors that might affect the style of mamangement chosen and the different scenario's in which the various management styles are more, or less, effective. Lots of theorists - you don't need to know them all, but must be able to reference some in a Case Study question.

One of many articles about leadership available on the internet: This one mentions the role 'introverted' people can have as leaders. Surprising & encouraging. []
