In this article, like I have in other articles, I will make it as easy for you to write a leadership dissertation as possible by giving you new ideas regarding topic and explaining leadership as well as I can.
    INTRODUCTION
    First of all let’s discuss what is leadership? Leadership in simplest terms can be defines as an ability through which you can gain followers. To gain followers requires influence but doesn’t exclude the lack of integrity to achieve this. In your leadership dissertation you will have to explain how leadership is attained and how does it affect the organization and the people surrounding the leader.
    THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP: A MUST FOR YOU
    DISSERTION IN LEADERSHIP
    All the theories of leadership should be covered in your literature review of your dissertation on leadership. It is important to know what every scientist and philosopher has said regarding leadership as to broaden your and the readers mind. The theories of leadership that are implied today are basically woven out of these theories.
       1. TRAIT THEORY OF LEADERSHIP: Trait theory is all about the types of personality tendencies and behavior linked through effective leadership. Many theorists argued that key leadership trait include motivation, desire to seek power, self confidence to name a few. The biggest disapproval of this theory is that it suggests that leadership personality are inherited hence one is born with them.
       2. BEHAVIORAL AND STYLE THEORY OF LEADERSHIP: Another theory you should include in your leadership dissertation is “Behavioral and style theory of leadership. In this theory the theorists stated that unlike the trait theory, leadership is not a set of traits but a pattern of motives. The Behavioral leadership grid model by Robert Blake and Jane Mouton based on concern for people and concern for productivity which are the basis of five different leadership styles. Studying this model will give you very clear emphasize of how to identify a clear leader.
       3. SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP THEORY: This theory presumes that different styles of leaderships are better in different situations. Many theorists have given their views about this theory. It’s better to understand what each theorist proposes as to understand what they perceive is the right action on a certain situation.
    There are many other theories that you should touch in your leadership dissertation such as functional theory of leadership. The more theories you touch the more content rich your dissertation for leadership will be. This way you will appease your dissertation supervisor as he you will leave no stone unturned.
    QUALITIES OF A GOOD LEADER: SOMETHING YOU MUST DEFINE IF YOU ARE TO PRESENT YOUR HYPOTHESIS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP DISSERTATION
    Defining a good leader for your leadership dissertation is very important so that you can give the readers a clear idea as to what your idea of a good leader is. Generally a leader should have VISION. He should be having a plan that should lead to a better future for a company or organization he works for. His vision should benefit not only the productivity of the organization he works for but on the long run all his sub ordinates as well. A leader should stay MOTIVATED and motivate his team through thick or thin. He should exude CONFIDENCE so that his team remains confident. You can add as many qualities that you deem appropriate in your leadership dissertation but these three qualities are basic for every leader.
    SOME GOOD TOPICS FOR YOUR DISSERTATION IN LEADERSHIP
    No article is going to give you topic tips but I know how hard it is to select a topic for your leadership dissertation. Here are some topics you can use for your leadership dissertation. These topics can easily be an impetus for more ideas for your dissertation topics.
         People oriented or task oriented? Which leaders are more successful in a government organization?
         How much do past experiences play a role into a person’s capability to lead?
