engagement and productivity of a team
Leadership concepts: Leadership concepts encompass the styles, traits and principles
of different approaches to managing a team of employees. Essentially, leadership
concepts are based off of various theories of management, and these traits serve as a
standard for effective managers, supervisors and other positional leaders.
Leadership theories

various behaviors and qualities that professionals can develop to become good leaders.

and explanations of these traits and the effects of them on professionals and their work
environments.
