1. INTRODUCTION
Leadership is an important component of human resource management
and integrating role among various components of human resource
management first and most important stage in the development of
leadership is the selection of leaders, because when chosen the wrong
person, trying to develop has little effect.
Leadership is an essential variable leads to an improved ability to
lead and organizational performance, describes the hypothetical
relationship between leadership and organizational performance. With
time a certain organizational culture, how leadership is exercised
largely determines the capacity of management. But increased management
capacity does not necessarily lead to higher organizational performance.
To achieve this, the leadership of the leaders is very important to
achieve the proposed performance. Culture performed this process
directly or indirectly, sometimes as an accelerator, sometimes as an
obstacle. Thus, leadership is very important to obtain an enhanced
management and organizational performance.
This results-oriented context, the organization usually provides a
degree of freedom and flexibility to contribute to results. Leaders must
be able to use this flexibility to motivate subordinates and to offer
them the necessary boost to achieve its mission. Leaders inspire people
of quality. Changing organizations is actually changing people's
behavior. Leaders, located throughout the organization can contribute to
the dissemination and maintenance of new values, necessary for the
success of the organization.
2. FACTORS INFLUENCING LEADERSHIP
Content, expression and leadership effectiveness are just some of
the major factors of leadership, of which three are considered to be
determined, namely:
--native characteristics of the person or leader;
--leadership training received;
--situation the leader is or is placed.
The main characteristics of leaders are:
a) physical--leadership requires a lot of work, which can be
inferred that the leader must possess outstanding energys
b) determination--leader must have goals and lead others to adopt
c) enthusiasm--the leader must be competent to be recognized as the
authority
d) generosity and human warmth--the leader should not be afraid to
be loved, but loved inlays to be followed by others, a)
integrity--leaders must be trustworthy. Precise definition of objectives
to be achieved through leadership:
--the transmission of sensitive information, knowledge, attraction,
persuasion, inspiration, drive to subordinates within sessions and
individual meetings;
--scheduling tasks to subordinates according to the leader and
leadership goals;
--calling method common in the delegation of tasks, powers and
authority--mentor, is a specific technique, outlined in recent decades
in developed countries where managers promote leadership.
In essence, the mentor is conducting regular meetings between
managers and subordinates, individually, in which, in a relaxed and open
discusses the potential and its evolution in terms of professional
opportunities. Negotiating with informal leaders (leaders enjoying the
appreciation and the component group, due to their conviction of the
high value of the leader).
Value resulting from the authority of specialized knowledge and
skills possessed by him and management, this position is acquired over
time as opposed to formal leaders whose authority is obtained
immediately with job assignment in order to obtain intense participation
in the exercise of leadership;
3. TYPE OF LEADERSHIP EFFECTS
Transformational leadership has some very important positive
effects for both organizations and individuals. The main issues include
the following positive effects:
--high attachment and trust in leadership;
--the desire for submission to the leader;
--strong motivation and high performance;
--increasing group cohesion--shared beliefs amplification;
--low level of conflict--high degree of satisfaction;
--commitment towards achieving goals.
Leadership has the interpersonal relations in scope, working
relations between the band leader--team, office, laboratory, etc.--And
he is subordinate staff. Leadership interpersonal relationships is done
so through direct face to face, the head of the subordinates. The items
above are considering by default, especially interpersonal leadership.
Besides these positive aspects, there are some potential negative
effects. These include:
--Increased risk of addiction to lead subordinates;
--subordinates weakening of interpersonal relations;
--increased frequency of unconventional behavior;
--exacerbation of confidence;
--difficulties and even failures in planning.
It's actually in the classical leadership, which is confined almost entirely management specialists.
Symbiotic leadership style considered and future includes:
--examination by team performance criteria based on a participatory
approach so as to ensure a fair distribution of
organizational rewards relating to premiums, training and
promotion;
--system builds motivation and improved communication, mutual
trust, recognized as such by all components of the organization; *
development of symbiotic team, the change in motivation increases the
contribution of these groups, individual performance and the belief that
those who have the most large contributions will be rewarded for it.
Leadership encourages symbiotic maximum contribution for each
component of the organization. It develops a strong team spirit, based
on strengthening individual identification with the group, the staff is
motivated by positive expectations regarding a proper evaluation and
reward.
The presence of full confidence levels catalyze the emergence of
new, higher, output and productivity within the organization.

Successful leaders are rated by employees as being strongly
oriented to tasks and relationships. Those achievements have these
features. Strong orientation towards the tasks indicates that efforts
are directed to activities that produce results, planning, assigning
responsibilities and setting goals
Strong orientation toward establishing relations manager indicates
that allows subordinates to influence the activities of work and is
willing to allow the participation of subordinates in planning, setting
goals and making decisions.
5. CONCLUSION
A very important role that plays in this process is that the
evaluator must identify all persons involved or will be somehow affected
by the assessment to be thought out ways to reduce negative influences
on the assessment could have on them. People evaluating their employees
should be perceived by those with maximum credibility, evaluators should
be appreciated by those who will be assessed, this includes prestige
evaluators and evaluative belief that the assessment made by them is
correct and fair. Employee performance evaluation is a fundamental means
by which managers and their subordinates can discuss issues in a
systematic manner the work important.
A major problem is to increase leadership effectiveness
particularly important in obtaining better results as the organization.
An important aspect of human resources management is represented by
performance assessment within the organisation, because through
evaluation we can better understand the dynamic nature of professional
development.
Leadership approach on the basis of courtesy is likely to determine
the organization's multidimensional performance gain. Leaders who
achieve at high levels using a highly participatory management practices, are recognized as owners of developed interpersonal and
communication described as open and willing to experiment with new ideas
and concepts to subordinates, focusing on creating challenges and
offering of greater responsibilities to subordinates. To motivate
others, using low-achieving managers usually security issues.
Regarding evaluation, I would say that the evaluation of
subordinates and the performance is part of the tasks of any manager.
The reality is that when this assessment does not pay himself can
properly guide and learn the responsibility of the employee.
A correct assessment and using efficient performance assessment
methods can improve the accuracy of the data according to which
employees are lead, and predictions are made in order to ensure human
resources.
Successful leaders are rated by employees as being strongly
oriented to tasks and relationships. Those achievements have these
features. Strong orientation towards the tasks indicates that efforts
are directed to activities that produce results, planning, assigning
responsibilities and setting goals
For the success of the performance assessment activity I suggest
the usage of certain mathematical models and computer programmes well
conceived and easy to be implemented.
Contribution consists in developing a mathematical model that
allows knowledge management style according to the factors of influence
leadership.
Model variables can be organizational capacity, communication
skills, sociability, intellectual potential and cognitive skills of
working with people
