From the standpoint of an organization, a growing amount of research demonstrates that leadership has an impact on performance. (Waldman et al., 2004; Agle et al., 2006). According to a survey, only a small percentage of people in leadership roles genuinely lead, with the great majority reacting, either to please shareholders or to protect their reputation (Kakabadse and Kakabadse 2007). In 1994, right before Christmas, the film 'Disclosure' was released. The CEO, Bob Garvin, and his subordinates' leadership styles and behaviors are examined in this research. This research looks at power in the workplace in particular and suggests transformational leadership."A process by which a person inspires a group of persons to attain a common goal" is how leadership is defined (Northhouse, 2019 p. 43). This concept of leadership, according to Northouse (2019), involves three things: procedures, influences, and groups. Leadership theory, like any other theory, must explain three key questions: what, why, and how (Whetten, 2002).Thus, in leadership theory, the "what" reflects the goal that the leader seeks to achieve, "how" describes how the leader achieves the goal, and "why" explains why this particular approach for achieving the objective was chosen. Power is required to be able to influence followers (French and Raven, 1959). There are six power bases.: Informational, Reward, Coercion, Legitimate, Expertise, and Referent (Raven, 2008). One's leadership style is determined by the types of power he or she wields. Coercive leaders, authoritative leaders, affiliative leaders, democratic leaders, pacesetting leaders, and coaching leaders are among the six types of leaders identified (Goleman, 2000). Coercive leadership, according to Goleman, should only be employed with extreme caution and in the few cases where it is absolutely essential. For example, when a turnaround is imminent or when a hostile takeover is imminent. To be effective, he suggests that leaders master at least four types, including authoritative, democratic, affiliative, and coaching, and be able to move between them quickly. According to Raven (2008), an effective leader must utilize informational power to properly explain concerns to subordinates with persuasive arguments for the subordinates to grasp and accept the reasons.The theory of the great man is linked to coercive leadership styles (Matchan 2020). According to the belief, great men leaders place a greater emphasis on the I rather than the we. The “great man” idea (Carlyle, 2007; James, 1880) is concerned with the personality attributes that leaders are born with (Kakabadse and Kakabadse, 1999). Associated with great man theory are transactional leadership. Transactional leaders are said to be incapable of building trusting, mutually beneficial leader-member relationships (Notgrass, 2014). Employees favor leaders that can inspire a group vision, stimulate creativity, reward achievement, develop trust, and promote a sense of belonging (Notgrass, 2014)
