Summary/Abstract: Attempts to both define leadership and to identify the characteristics and behaviours that characterise effective leaders have been made for many years and the discussion continuesto this day. This paper presents, based on literature research, different approaches leadershipand to assessing its effectiveness. However, there is no single effective OSH leadership style,nor a one-size-fits-all method for assessing the effectiveness of management commitmentto OSH. Therefore, in H&S management, it is best to adhere to the principle of aurea mediocritas (happy medium), while leadership itself is best defined by actions and its effectivenessis assessed by analysing the objectives achieved or not.
