The Impact of Leadership Patterns on the Development of Intellectual Capital in the Educational Sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain

Abstract

This study aimed at understanding the impact of leadership patterns in the Kingdom of Bahrain, where suitable study hypotheses on the Bahraini environment and their leadership styles (authoritarian, democratic and laissez-faire) were entered and tested on the social package of statistical analysis programs. The study came to the most important finding that there is a gap in the understanding of the importance of intellectual capital in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the most important recommendation was that the best leadership pattern for intellectual capital is the laissez-faire or the free-rein style, because it encourages creativity and innovation and grants latitude for all.

Keywords: Intellectual Capital, Authoritarian style, Democratic style, Laissez-Faire style.
