Abstract:

This bachelor thesis delves into the multifaceted realm of leadership, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of various leadership structures, methods, and their effectiveness across different industries. Through extensive research and analysis, this study seeks to fulfill three primary objectives: describing diverse leadership structures, comparing their functionalities, evaluating leadership methods pertinent to distinct industries, and assessing their efficacy. Furthermore, a secondary objective involves identifying the personality traits essential for exemplary leadership and examining their influence on the work environment.This bachelor thesis embarks on a dual journey, aiming to bridge the theoretical understanding of leadership methods across industries with their practical application and effectiveness measurement. The research is structured into two distinct yet interconnected segments: a theoretical analysis and a practical exploration.The theoretical portion of this study meticulously examines a spectrum of leadership methods prevalent across industries, delving into their conceptual frameworks, underlying principles, and applications. Through an extensive literature review, various leadership methods including transactional, transformational, servant, authentic, and situational leadership will be scrutinized. Furthermore, the study will explore the tools and methodologies employed for measuring the effectiveness of these leadership methods, considering both qualitative and quantitative approaches.In the practical segment, the research transitions from theoretical analysis to empirical investigation, employing qualitative and quantitative methods to process data and draw meaningful insights. Comparative analysis and descriptive methods will be utilized to analyze the data gathered from multiple industries, providing a holistic view of leadership effectiveness in diverse organizational settings. Through qualitative methodologies such as interviews, case studies, and observations, as well as quantitative techniques including surveys and statistical analysis, the study aims to uncover patterns, trends, and correlations between leadership methods and organizational outcomes.
