Question

Is the concept of leadership necessary only in large organizations or does it come into play in small business too? Why do you believe this? How might leadership behaviors be different in a small business environment?

Answer 1

The concept of leadership is found in both small and big organizations. The only difference is that the big organizations have multiple leaders who handle multiple teams why small organizations usually have a few leaders and sometimes it is the manager who is leading the team of his employees. The role, however, is the same for the leader and that is leading the team, motivating them, and encouraging them to achieve their goals.

I believe this because no organization can run without having a leader. Big organizations do have leaders with different leadership styles while small ones have a democratic or autocratic leader.

Leadership is different in a small business organization. The team is short and easy to manage. The leadership style usually followed is either democratic or autocratic. Democratic is when the leader takes suggestions from the employees before making any decision while autocratic is when the leader usually takes all the decisions by himself.
