Modern leadership styles in the twenty-first century

Leadership is considered one of the most effective guidance tools in the field of work, and it helps solve many work tasks and complexities. An organization that lacks sound leadership will not have a share of success.
The current research aimed to shed light on most of the modern leadership styles in the twenty-first century, such as: smart leadership, digital leadership, creative leadership, positive leadership, transformational leadership, participatory leadership, ethical leadership, servant leadership, sustainable leadership, and enlightened leadership.
This was with the aim of explaining these patterns to presidents, managers, and leaders to benefit from them when exercising leadership in the organizations in which they work, and so that they can be guided by these patterns when directing and motivating those working with them to perform the work or tasks required of them efficiently and effectively, and selecting the appropriate ones in light of the nature of the situation, the characteristics of the employees, and the available time and the available and possible of resources.
This research was a humility attempt to expand the knowledge and awareness of these presidents, managers, and leaders with modern leadership styles instead of limiting their knowledge and awareness to familiar traditional leadership styles, such as: dictatorial leadership, bureaucratic leadership, anarchic leadership, and democratic leadership.
The research also shed light on some negative or anti-leadership styles, such as: negative leadership and destructive leadership as styles that work against the correct and positive concept of leadership and its role in directing employees and the organization and achieving common goals. The current research was considered a type of theoretical library research that relies on a qualitative description of the research topic, as modern leadership styles were discussed through reviewing the scientific literature related to the science and profession of management and in other scientific disciplines, especially the sociology of organizations and psychology in the work environment.
