Abstract

In the thesis, the research of the sophisticated and complex concept of leadership is approached by first analysing all components and approaches to management in order to be able to analyse the function of leadership, the person of the leader, and different methods and styles of leadership. We come to know what is considered good leadership and what characteristics a good leader possesses. It is further analysed by conducting empirical research on the observed company Merkur osiguranje d.d. how likely it is that good and adequate management has a direct effect on increasing personal business results.
The paper provides interesting insights into how leadership affects individuals, their results, and relationship with the business organization as a whole. Findings were reached by first analysing management theories, and their lessons were summarised and applied in empirical research in the final parts of the paper.
