Today there is probably no topic more important to business success than leadership. Leadership occurs between people, involves the use of influence, and is used to attain goals. Influence means that the leadership relationship among people is not passive. As previously defined, leadership is the ability to influence people toward goal attainment. To develop leadership abilities, one must study theory, along with various leadership models, and incorporate both the theory and model into their own organizational situation.

Include the following:

· Suggest some leadership traits (sit-lead, servant, or trait) that you believe would be useful to a business leader today.

· Are these qualities more valuable in some situations than in others? Explain and provide an example of where these qualities are valuable.

· Explain which of the three models covered (sit-lead, servant, or trait) align with the traits you selected.

Also include how the three models serve as a foundation for understanding leadership qualities and skills as a whole.
