Synopsis Discussion about the question of 'What makes a good leader?' has continued for decades, if not longer. Some people assert that a good leader is someone who focuses on leading within a business to reach the business-specific goals. Others look at a leader as someone who focuses on achieving vision, and believes in a highly moral and socially conscious way.

Some writers believe that there are universal principles and styles of leadership that should be consistent, no matter the situation faced by the leader.
