Accucoms is a modern organization that provides sales and marketing services to publishers worldwide. Its major turnover was experienced in 2004 as it acquired extensive cover worldwide in representation and business intelligence. Through improving their organizational structure, they have acquired a range of clients from major publishing to medium publishers. With its headquarters located in Netherlands, it has enabled them in overseeing their representation worldwide (Leclerc, 2007).

Pinar Erzin, the founder, and president of the accustoms insists on how their change to working as a team has been their main key to success. In 2014 the company was declared bankrupt due to a run of losses in the previous year’s prompting them to approach the Frankfurt Book Fair with unemployed people (Teodoro, 2011).

Pinar Ezrin reorganized his team and changed its structure, prompting the participants in the Frankfurt book fair to support their independence. Publishers and potential buyers supported them due to their commitment. There are several theories relating to the success of accustoms. Neoclassical theory relates best to the change in relations in accustoms organizational structure. Neoclassical theory mainly focusses on individual or workgroup management (Stewart, 2010).

A leader is an individual with the ability or skills to lead or guide other individuals, teams or the entire organization. Leadership is important to every company as it determines organization, work distribution, and success. Every company has adopted its specific organizational management according to their needs and preferences. Leadership styles can include coercive, democratic, coaching, pacesetting, afflictive and authoritative (Ferguson, 1969).

There are several theories, which are incorporated into leadership to achieve organizational objectives. Theories of leadership can include neoclassical theory or bureaucratic approach (Taylor, 1993).

The administrative theory considers leadership as planning, structuring, commanding, organizing and coordinating activities. It was founded by Henry Fayol. He based on management principles; unity of command, centralization, initiative, committees, scalar chain and enumeration of personnel. Its functions include coordinating, training and organization. The bureaucratically approach considers leadership as a broader part of society. Its principles are based on specialization, rationality, and democracy (Aylott, 2014).
