  2. Leadership Styles

  3. What is Leadership • Leadership comes from the person who holds the responsibility. • Leadership is the organizational force of a workplace, team, organization or other grouping of people with the same purpose. • Leadership can happen in many ways depending on the personalities involved and the situation. • Each leadership style has specific advantages and disadvantages.

  4. Autocratic Leadership • Authority based • Minimal input from team members • “Do as I say”– form of leadership • Not good for creative atmospheres, or areas in which team members are expected to contribute a lot in the way of skills. • High turnover • Poor emotional response from teammates

  5. Bureaucratic Leadership • Somewhat less totalitarian with a heavy emphasis on rules • Described as the “by the book” method of leadership.

  6. Charismatic Leadership • Leader exhibits high energy and enthusiasm • Charismatic leaders tend to care more about themselves than their team. • Success becomes tied up with the leader • The high level of responsibility means that a charismatic leader must be committed to the organization or product for the long-term.

  7. Participative Leadership • Leader holds power to make final decision • Much emphasis placed on contributions from the group • Group members encouraged to participate and give input • Can take longer to get results • Results tend to be of higher quality

  8. Laissez-faire Leadership • Comes from the French for “leave it be” • Describes a leader who does not become directly involved with the work of group members • Requires communication between leader and crew • Requires teammates who are highly skilled and intrinsically motivated • Can allow situations to become out of control quickly and easily

  9. People or Relationship Oriented Leadership • Leader focuses on organization, support and development of teammates • Usually involves a high level of teamwork • Good for creative environments • High morale and low turnover • High emotional cost for the leader involved

  10. Task Oriented Leadership • Focus on “getting the job done” • Necessary to define what the task-at-hand is • Necessary to define what roles are necessary to complete the task • Can result in turnover problems and low team morale

  11. Transactional Leadership • Not considered an actual style of leadership • Based on obedience in addition to reward/punishment systems • Leaves team members highly unsatisfied • Tends to have a higher focus on negative outcomes than positive incentives. • Better for short-term tasks than for creative works

  12. Transformational Leadership • A true leader • Leader constantly inspiring team • Leader is highly visible • Emphasis on communication • Need the support of people who focus on details • Increased morale

  13. The Situational Leader • In reality none of these styles is perfect for every goal or every situation. • Leader able to consider: • Team member skill levels • Team experience level • What is needed to complete the type of work • Necessary organizational environment • Their own tendencies in dealing with others
