    This document discusses leadership and factors that influence who becomes a leader. It examines when groups need leaders and what leaders do. Leaders can become elected, appointed, or implicitly recognized by group members. Leadership behavior has two dimensions: relationship-oriented consideration and task-oriented initiating structure. Contingency theories propose that leadership effectiveness depends on the leader's characteristics and the situation, such as in Fiedler's contingency theory and the Lewin/Lippitt/White experiment on leadership types.
