"The phenomenon of leadership has long excited interest among people: some to lead and many to follow. The changes in the new economic world stimulated by aggressive, capable competitors are redefining the empire in terms of market economies. Leadership style adopted by the manager for his subordinates plays crucial role in motivating and influencing them. The focus of this book is on the leadership style exhibited and related occupational stress among the subordinates. An attempt has been made to develop insight into directive, supportive, participative and achievement oriented leadership style to be adopted by manager depending on the type of subordinate and the situations."
