default. For the role of the leaders to be felt by all the
stakeholders, there is a need to have a team work which
influences results. Team management is an act of influence by

Roger Chin concludes that the need to have a team work makes
the work of the leaders easy as the means makes it possible for
them to lead easily.

publications are well recognized nationally in New Zealand
through captivation of the wider agenda. In his article to relate
to the influential leadership which can portray, he has used an
example of a geomorphologist who takes the role of a leader. He

expertise. Crozier has used the event in the fight for he Cycle

Eichmann has a lot of interests in the leadership of the Christian
world. In the article written in 2011 and published in 2012,
Eihman has used the example of Taiwanese voices and the role

possible to convert conservative persons to be radical thereby
having them from reflective and kinetically active.
6. Hakala, David. "The Top 10 Leadership Qualities". HR
World. Archived from the original on 2013-04-10.
The author of this article has started with an introduction of the
meaning of leadership where he puts clear that a leader is a
person who can indulge people to follow him or her. In his
explanation, he gives some elements which can make home
much influential. The factors that have been given focus by the
writer as the top leadership qualities are; Integrity, dedication,
magnanimity,humility,openness,creativity,assertiveness,fairness
and a sense of humor. The author has made it clear that a good
leader can only make it influence the rest of the people by using
the above traits. The cutting point across is the ability of the
leader to make sure that they can act. The failure to follow the
above traits will make the leader be perceived otherwise by the
followers, and therefore, there is a need for the leaders to
consider the relation with the followers.

political control: The influential factors. Journal of Community
Psychology, 31(4), 371-381.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jcop.10054
A nay leader who wants to make an intact in the society has to
have social factors. It is in this in this case that the author
Ithaki and Alan S. York had to write about leaders who can
influence dimensional leadership style. Itzhak and Alan S. York
claims that an influential leadership outs into consideration the
fact that the family friends plays a very crucial role in the
success of the leadership. For a leader to be influential, he or
she must be able to put influence on the friends and the
families. These are the people who know the leader better.
When leaders are not able to win the trust of the mentioned
groups, it is hard to be believed by any other person. It is,

therefore, important to note that, competency in leadership
comes with social controls and the support from them. This is
an important factor of influential leadership.

Leadership and Media: How a Single Statement Can Affect an
Industry. Journal of Convention & Event Tourism, 16(1), 27-44.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15470148.2014.971387
Malek and Tanford are bloggers and journal writers whose main
focus in on leadership. Within this article, the authors have
closed their ideas to the very statements which influential
leaders can make and can affect the whole lot of the people.
Within the article, the authors have used media as the source of
the influence. The media can color the influence at the same
time affect the good things the leader can do. The authors of
this article have used Las Vegas convention industry after the
President used some comments about Las Vegas. As a result of
this, the issue went viral. The impact was not good, and
therefore, the authors decided to do a study using a regression
analysis to know the impact the influential leaders can have.
They were able to use Obama as the case study using some
comments he had made for some time.

28(6), 17-24. http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/00005110-199806000-
00005
Murray et al. write about the influential profession and how
they can make their work possible. The authors who have
written more than 100 articles on leadership are given the first
ingredient of influential leaderships as the leader’s moods.
Using the different professions as examples, the reason for
having the influence is because there is a need to use the
different moods by the leaders to influence results. Again the
authors have picked up nursing executive as the profession
where the leaders have a lot of influence for them to win the
trust of the employees and the people they are attending to. It

identifies the fact that negative and positive mood as the
effective tone to which leaders can manage to have the support
of the rest of the members. In this case, therefore, there is a
need for the different leaders in the different professions to out
into consideration the positive moods which influence
leadership.

Related to Organizational Citizenship Behavior of Nurses: With
Focus on Authentic Leadership and Organizational Justice.
Journal of Korean Academy Of Nursing Administration, 20(2),
237. http://dx.doi.org/10.11111/jkana.2014.20.2.237
This is a research study which was done by the an authors to
determine what are the factors which make leadership an
influential area.IN keen focus in this category is a focus on
authentic leadership and organizational justice. This is a study
done by the authors to show how the factors can help the
leaders to win a following given the fact that, in an
organization, some of these factors can be a stumbling to the
progress of leaders. In this leadership form by Song and
Seomun, a group of 186 participants was interviewed to know

leader: Impact of the leader's mood on the mood of group
members, group affective tone, and group processes" (PDF).
Journal of Applied Psychology 90 (2): 295–305. doi:
10.1037/0021-9010.90.2.295. PMID15769239
A leader needs not only abilities but also an attitude, tone and
mood. The authors of this article memorably do a piece to show
how the relationship between a leader and the subordinates can
bring change. The leaders can only manage to influence change
in their work when they can manipulate their moods, attitudes

and tones. When the three factors are well handled, the
subordinates may feel short changed as the subordinates work in
the best of the relations by the leadership. The authors,
therefore, advice the leaders that that their attitudes and moods
can bring change if they are used well.

outcomes." Personnel Psychology52 (4): 899–926. Doi:
10.1111/j.1744-6570.1999.tb00184.x
The study by the authors had the focus on the importance of
personality attributes and cognitive ability as part of the factors
for influential leadership. It is one of the areas where every
leader focuses on to make that their performance achieves the
best it can. Cognitive abilities give the leaders the abilities to
make sure they have a strong association with the workers. With
cognitive abilities, the leaders can easily influence since they
understand the problem the workers have. It is therefore very
important for leaders to note that with influential leadership, the
authors made some things very clear. These are;
conscientiousness, extraversion, and emotional stability. Any
team leader can influence when they can put into practice the
above-stated functions of leaders. A good leader can bring
change by understanding the subordinates.

leadership from an evolutionary perspective which is not part of
the mainstream theory when it comes to leadership. The authors
puts into perspective the issue of old time leadership, and they
relate them with the up to date leadership styles. They put
across three conclusions about leadership which they give a lot
of focus. Their first the authors have focused on is leading and
following, secondly on the relationship between the leaders and

the followers and lastly, the organizational structures that
surround the issue of evolved leadership psychology. The main
agenda the authors had was to reduce the gap that exists
between the leaders and the followers and thereby make
conclusions on the best way to influence.

motivation that the leaders to out of people whom they are
working together when it comes to the issue of self-efficacy and
