Abstract: In this paper we discuss about the leadership as a process in which the leader influences on his/her subordinates and carries out his/her objectives. The main holders of leading are leaders who play an important role in the company. A good leader knows how to listen to their subordinates, he/she can listen to their suggestions and ideas, and is able to make sovereign decisions when needed. Leadership style is basically a way, in which leader influences subordinates in order to achieve the objectives in a given period of time. For successful leading, it is important that the leader knows his/her own style of leadership and is able to adapt it according to the situation in which he/she finds himself/herself, to subordinates, to the environment of work. The purpose of our paper is to determine (by using an empirical research) whether in the logistics company dominates the task-oriented or people-oriented leadership style. By the means of our survey we found out that the leaders in this company are more task-oriented.
