Excellent leadership and successful enterprise, mediocre leadership and failed enterprises associated with how inevitable? Shenzhen Graduate School of international management in business and the United States International Training Association recently a thematic study: leadership model and the business situation in the country. Through more than 1700-foreign enterprise leaders and their organization's data analysis, concluded conclusions: excellence leadership body, set up all the outstanding enterprises, deciphering the genetic code of these passwords, revealing the mystery of the great enterprises.

An enterprise from birth, growth, to be an excellent, up to excellence, through four different stages, its leadership model also has different characteristics: the first phase of the corresponding leadership model known as the first generation of leadership model can be summed up as "drive type" leadership; second generation leadership model can be summarized as "regulatory" leading, third-generation leadership models evolve into "plotting" leadership, the fourth generation is upgraded to a "consultant" leadership.

By 1700 & events on in many Chinese and foreign business leaders and the findings of the enterprise: is the "bring-in" leadership model enterprises accounted for 41 per cent, in "regulated" leadership model enterprises accounted for 36%, is in the "plotting" leadership model enterprises accounted for 15 percent, is in the "consultant" leadership model enterprises accounted for 8%.

The first generation leadership model: "drive type" leadership

Leader status: Member, i.e. Members; leader functions: business principals; basic ways: personal; typical slogan: "leadership" is an example.

Since reform and opening up, the majority of entrepreneurs is the "lead" style of leadership. For example, at the enterprise, the shopkeeper is both an investor and operator itself or "players"; for a grassroots team leader, is a model, or advanced. The first generation of leaders rely primarily on their own mental and physical strength to lead the company forward.

With the continuous development of enterprises, management object gradually increased, the management is more complex, relying on their own mental and physical strength to cope with the competitive situation becomes too great. How to lead more high value talent, they become problems. Many walks through the start-up phase and did not escape the fate of the enterprise, the failure often lies in the ability of leaders themselves has reached the limit, and are unable to go to the integration of external resources, overburdened eventually led to the collapse of the enterprise.

Those lucky enough to break this pattern, the next-generation leadership patterns, becomes the body of the enterprise.
