Topic > Evolution and Impact of Leaders - 1930

Introduction Over the past 43 years, after the ability to personally recognize who leaders were and the basic knowledge of what leaders should accomplish, the personal concept of leaders has changed with a internal desire to emulate specific leadership cadres. The first concept of leadership began to form with the strong representation of the alpha male created by the father and grandfather figures. The cognition of leaders transformed into a personal hybrid formed from the initial structure, adding sports coaches, teachers, employers, formal training and life experiences in the US Air Force. The initial vision of what a leader represents helped to create a self-image and build an internal relationship with those who guide the leaders to consolidate personal leadership and followership characteristics (Vielmetter & Sell, 2014). Leadership attitudes are contagious because these attitudes reflect perceptions of willingness and structured experience (Boone & Makhani, 2012; Oreg & Berson, 2011). The mentor-apprentice relationship shapes progressive attitudes as mentees emulate mentors' attitudes toward leadership or model personal hybrids of multiple mentors and develop the ideal personal status quo of leadership and followership (Ashley & Reiter-Palmon, 2012; Boone & Makhani, 2012; Owens and Hekman, 2012). In the changing dynamics of the economy, business concepts, and idealistic leadership qualities to manage both, leadership attitudes and behaviors focus on personality, perception, feelings, and motivation ranging from the alpha leader to servant leaders (Boone & Makhani, 2012; Goh & Zhen-Jie, 2014; Harris, Berendt, Malindretos, Scoullis, & Williams, 2012; Rezaei, Salehi, Shafiei, & Sabet, 2012). of the paper...perfect of the leader's trust and organizational communication.
