Leadership, an unquestionable quality of those who succeed in being followed and especially pursued implies a series of common attributes but not necessarily a standard pattern of manifestation, which is exercised differently depending on the personality of the leader, on circumstances and last but not least on the specificity of the involved community. Based on this hypothesis, the objective of this research is to create a portrait of the leaders of organizations in Romania according to age, gender, seniority and education. This objective led to the selection of an empirical research method, based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the answers obtained by questioning a sample of 22 managers and decision-makers from companies operating in Romania. The questionnaire used as a working tool¹ was developed by researchers in this field, and it includes 45 essential questions for the analysis and classification of the respondents into a certain leadership model. The answers were collected using the Google Forms platform and detailed, interpreted and summarized using SPSS and Excel (Microsoft Office). The processed results outline a leader strongly influenced by his culture and social position, who prefers to make spontaneous decisions in the face of events that arise. Moreover, the Romanian leader is not aware of his abilities and assumes that the people under his coordination are inefficient, constantly needing a push. Certainly, the results of the present study can be improved by considering an alternative research method, by interviewing a larger sample and by going deeper into this topic.
