Defining Leadership • Leadership is the art or process of influencing people so that they will strive willingly and enthusiastically toward the achievement of group goals. Chapter 15. Leadership
Ingredients of Leadership 1. Power 2. A fundamental understanding of people • The ability to inspire followers to apply their full capabilities 4. The leader’s style and the development of a conducive organizational climate Chapter 15. Leadership
Fundamental Principle of Leadership • Since people tend to follow those who, in their view, offer them a means of satisfying their personal goals, the more managers understand what motivates their subordinates and how these motivators operate, and the more they reflect this understanding in carrying out their managerial actions, the more effective they are likely to be as leaders. Chapter 15. Leadership
Trait and Charismatic Approaches to Leadership • Attempt to identify leadership traits • “Great Man” theory assumes that leaders are born and not made • Lost much of its acceptability – has limitations • Discussion continuous • See also studies by Robert House on charismatic characteristics of leaders Chapter 15. Leadership
Leadership Styles Based on Use of Authority • The autocratic leader commands and expects compliance, is dogmatic and positive, and leads by the ability to withhold or give rewards and punishment. • The democratic, or participative, leader consults with subordinates and encourages their participation. • The free-rein leader uses power very little, if at all, giving subordinates a high degree of independence.

Transactional and Transformational Leadership • Transactional leaders identify what subordinates need to do to achieve objectives, clarify organizational roles and tasks, set up an organization structure, reward performance, and provide for the social needs of their followers. • Transformational leaders articulate a vision and inspire followers. They have the capacity to motivate, shape the organization culture, and create a climate favorable for organizational change. Chapter 15. Leadership
