The behavior model of a leader consists of consideration and initiating structure, which the
leader trusts, respects, and cares about the employees of the organization. The leader would
engage in to guarantee that the work gets done well, the employees fulfill their
responsibilities on the job acceptably, and the effectiveness and efficiency of the company is
assured. Behavior leadership theory kingpins the way leaders behave, that would lead the
others to follow or copy the actions of the leaders. Some might know behavioral theory as
style theory that suggests that leaders are never born as an advanced successful person, but
they can develop leadership skills and knowledge based upon the learnable behaviors.
