Individual guidance
Individual leadership is the goal- and situation-related influencing of a person being led by a superior, who uses management tools to steer the person concerned towards a jointly achieved success . In doing so, a supervisor prompts an individual employee to do what he expects of them (target setting or target agreement ). Special forms of management instruments are management techniques and management styles , both of which are applied to the operational level of an organization or to the individual to be managed . relate Ultimately, individual leadership always implies the construction of human images and the derivation of actions from these human images.
