Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Max Weber also researched the impact of authority and leadership in the management process. Weber is often associated with socialist thinking and principles; but, in reality, he undertook research in understanding the qualities and requirements of leaders in the workplace. Weber was also able to differentiate between the bureaucratic leader where the leadership was gained by virtue of the position and the performance leader who gained the position by personal charisma or skill levels. A lot of the work undertaken by Weber was in Germany and applications of many of his principles were often overshadowed by politics."
