Thanks to all the information about leadership, it can be announced that it is an important aspect and with many benefits for the organization since if we have a good leader within the organization we can have the security that this person will influence their classmates to do a jobeffective and efficient;In addition to knowing the benefits they bring in the development of the organization.

Organizational development is seen from a set of techniques, the psychologists of the 60s, considered that in leadership the group must be the main protagonist, according to the above, a situational approach that determines the need to exercise leadership is maintainedthe circustance . Therefore, leadership is seen as a group resource, which can be exercised by various people. In addition, r. Tannenbaum and W. Schmidt (1958) mention that leaders must have three special forces: own, subordinates and situational.

As mentioned above, organizational development has a lot of relationship with leadership, as is known, organizational development focuses on the change in companies as in technology, in the market, among others, but at the same time in the behavior ofpeople;That would be a relationship with leadership since it deals with directing a group of people, using their example as a reference.
