There is an ideia that the interpersonal leadership is the best way for managers to control an organization. That generates an expectation that a leader should dialogue with his followers, or at least be close to them. However, it could be hard, since the activities of a company can be located in different places. Thus, the leadership currently must consist both in facilitating strategies, as such as hiring and training, the proper technology and focus on tasks and goals, as in interpersonal relationships.
The skills in interpersonal relationships should not be overlooked, but a leader needs many qualities beyond that. Harvard Business Review has an article about interpersonal leadership, supporting the idea that clear tasks, meaningful goals and well-established technologies should complement the interpersonal leadership.
Despite the relevance of the interpersonal skills, in various situations, in some cases it is not necessary. Employees who can model the vision of an organization can replace the formal model of leadership.
