Abstract

This academic article presents concepts and principles related to leadership in sports management and sports event organization. The analysis revealed that leadership in sports management consists of leadership qualities, personality, communication, motivation, clarity in work objectives, and the ability to direct or control tasks effectively. In terms of management and leadership practices, leaders are required to have expertise in management, planning, coordination, and task control. Additionally, they should exhibit characteristics of effective leadership, which are essential for successful operations. These characteristics include not only knowledge and understanding but also the ability to promote and foster team development. This involves building a team with experience and capabilities to work collaboratively and efficiently. These components are crucial for managing sports events, where leaders or managers should employ them to ensure effective administration. Furthermore, teams should be encouraged to undergo training or receive additional knowledge to enhance their skills and continuously improve themselves. This allows them to apply their knowledge and skills to work more effectively.
