Modern world organizations, aware of the importance of motivation, are paying more and more attention to the ways in which it is achieved, in order to increase the efficiency of work. Management, as different and more comprehensive than guidance and leadership, has fewer points of contact with human resources, so the emphasis is placed on the relationship between leadership and motivation. With the emergence of managerial leadership styles, it became easier to understand the difference between the positive and negative impact that just one person can have on the entire organization. On the other hand, the developed theories of motivation prove how important motivation is, both for everyday life and for science. Motivation itself can be viewed from two aspects: from the individual's perspective, as an internal state that leads to the achievement of a goal, and from the manager's perspective, as an activity that ensures that people strive for the achievement of set goals. How important it is to achieve motivation is clear from the fact that demotivation can completely disable an individual to work. Therefore, it is very important that managers do not ignore the leadership style with which they act, because a well-chosen leadership style reflects on the success of the organization.
