Abstract
Leadership in Kosovo today is one of the questions of exceptional importance. This institution
has not yet been analyzed properly based on: quality, efficiency and responsibility, legal-,
material- and moral leadership. Kosovo is faced with many challenges consisting of the needed
steps towards the business development of the enterprise in Kosovo and in the international
arena. Leaders cannot be created only by giving orders to others but the main problem is to
identify the principles of cooperation and co-financing that identify people who can and should
be able to mobilize forces to create economic advantages to the society. In this sense the most
important thing is the determination of the exact diagnosis of the current situation before
promoting economic growth. Main purpose of this article is the analysis of the role and
importance of leadership in the business development in Kosovo.
Keywords: Leadership, Kosovo, business development.
Introduction
Leadership is a process of social influence, a process with which any person is able to
offer help and support other people in order to fulfill certain obligations. Leadership
is a way of organizing groups of people to achieve clear and specific objectives. Various
studies on leadership have produced various theories involving traits and interactions
in certain situations such as posture, power, charisma, and intelligence to a person,
group of persons or particular measure in general. Leadership is defined as the
individual’s ability to influence other people to work together and contribute to efforts
directed at the fulfillment of the purpose of the enterprise. In literature are encountered
similar comparisons between leadership and management, but essentially there are
essential differences between the two components.
The main differences between leadership and management are:
Leadership is a limited human activity, and is in association with a component
of other factors, and management in this aspect is much more a pro bono work;
Management in general is a broader activity and includes not only human
activities but also the process of deployment, financial, raw materials, markets,
technology and information processes in a business.
The difference between management and leadership in terms of function occurs when
a manager completes a task or job properly and gives the leader the right or duty
(Bennis, 2010).
Effective leadership is added when the perception of the leader on the authority of
his/her perception is similar to the other on the authority of the leader/leader.
