Introduction:
The purpose of the article is to explore business leadership changes and developments in
parallel with business leader’s changes and developments, the relationship between them
and how could we bridge them to fit the best business leadership to the best business
leader. “Leadership development is defined as expanding the collective capacity of
organizational members to engage effectively in leadership roles and processes”,
(McCauley et al., 1998). “In the case of leader development, the emphasis typically is on
individual-based knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with formal leadership roles.
These acquired capabilities enable people to think and act in new ways”, (Coleman, 1988).
Considering rank and power is the most two element that would be reflected by family
owned business leadership controlling their businesses , on the other side two elements of
understanding and responsibility would be reflecting leadership of systematic well
organized and balanced organizations. For the best return of the integration between
leadership and leader, would require a great deal of flexibility and agility to maintain
balancing the complexity of both human being leader and combined leadership
development. These methods must be linked with each other and connected to a broader
organizational strategy (Hall & Seibert, 1992; Latham & Seijts, 1998).
Type of leadership:
In Leadership practices intended to be the influence, while management intended to be the
practices on managerial internal organizational duties which is affected by the type of
Leadership practices. Destructive Leadership practice is using the methodical and constant
performance by a leader to superintendent or executive that violates the justifiable concern
of the business by discouragement and loosing the organization’s targets, responsibilities,
possessions, and efficiency and the incentive, comfort or job fulfillment. The second type is
Constructive leadership practice when leaders act beneficially in cooperation towards the
employees and the business. The leaders at this part, act’s according with the justified
concern of the business, sustaining and improving the target, duties, and approach of the
business then getting most advantageous use of organizational possessions.

2. Relationship Dimension:
Looking through the comparison between the leader and the leadership, we could
recognize the practice within particular framing each of them, in general the leader more to
human being and leader ship more the social collective. Leadership image, the leaders
toward self-power, business experience and the dependability. However the leadership
image towards relational, Commitments, general respect and the trust.
Bridging Leader AND Leadership:
Building character leaders using the training to create capabilities probably that leadership
will consequence to a balancing standpoint approaches leadership as a social practice that
engages everyone in the community (Barker, 1997; Drath & Palus, 1994; Wenger & Snyder,
2000). In that process, we could consider every individual is a leader and the leadership is
the effect rather than a cause (Drath, 1998). Leadership is growing assets of efficient
systems design (Salancik, Calder, Rowland, Leblebici, &Conway,1975). The Leadership
improvement from this standpoint should be taking advantage of using social relationship
methods to support constructs obligations between the members of the business (Wenger,
1998).
Finding:
It’s always fine leadership would be recognized by a leader, however, a leader could be
without any leadership experience but because he positioned on the top of the business
due to a heritage position exchange, then the training could be more useful to improve the
leadership practice. However, For the best return of the integration between leadership
and leader, would require a great deal of flexibility and agility to maintain balancing the
complexity of both human being leader and combined leadership development.
