 Theoretical Leadership ModelsNikolaos Pavlidis International Journal of Finance, Insurance and Risk Management, 2021, vol. 11, issue 4, 24-36 Abstract: Purpose: The objective of this study is to define leadership and describe leadership styles. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study defines the styles of leadership as presented in the literature and then performs an analysis of the efficiency and motivation they offer to the employees, as yielded by a secondary literature review. Findings: Leadership can influence the attitudes and behavior of a small or large, formal or informal group of people by an individual in such a way that they voluntarily, willingly and with the appropriate cooperation try to achieve goals arising from its mission team, as efficiently as possible. Practical Implications: By efficiently practicing a leadership style suited to the employees, the employees can find themselves to be motivated and more productive, which in turn yields greater efficiency and benefits for the organization. Originality/Value: The present study allows for a contemporary view on the literature and leadership styles, as well as an examination of the view on leadership styles and how they evolved from their founding to their current form. Keywords: Leadership styles; leader; leadership theory; motivation.
