Abstract: A behavioral view of leadership is presented. Managers are usually viewed as either commonsense, practical individuals or as guardians of human satisfaction at work. Individuals take for granted the action and dynamism needed to perform first-rate managerial work. Understanding of behavioral skills assists practicing managers to comprehend organizational pressures, allocate energies among competing demands, and relate organizational work flow requirements to both management controls and personality differences. Specific topics included are based on formal and informal studies and cover: 1) The expectation and reality of the managerial world; 2) an overview of managerial work; 3) authority; 4) commitment and motivation; 5) lateral relations; 6) organizational power gains, struggles and status ; 7) work within the hierarchy; 8) types, use and design of controls; 9) facilitating organizational change; 10) project management skills; 11) managerial personalities.
