  5. 1. Definition of a Leader A person who guides or directs a group to attain a common goal

  6. 2. Leadership Styles • Autocratic • Bureaucratic • Laissez-faire • Democratic • Transactional • Tranformational

  7. Autocratic (dictator) • Expects the group to accept the goal they have chosen. • Shows more interest in the subject matter (content) than in the people (process). • Shows aggressive attitude.

  8. Makes decisions regardless of other viewpoints. • Talks too much. • Focuses attention on themselves. • Is aloof from active group participation except when demonstrating

  9. Bureaucratic Leadership • The leader manages “by the book¨. • Everything must be done according to procedure or policy. • If it isn’t covered by the book, the leader refers to the next level above them. • They enforce the rules.

  10. Laissez-faire (permissive) • Lets people go their own way. • Doesn’t prepare and lets things drift. • Doesn’t seem to care. • Causes the group to accomplish little.

  11. Lacks courage in making decisive plans. • Gives little guidance. • Shows Non-participation as a leader. • Gives freedom to the group to do as they like.

  12. Democratic (group-centred) • Shares leadership responsibility. • Believes in other people. • Creates a sense of security and belonging in the group. • The leader’s withdrawal will not mean that the group will fall apart. • Allows individuals’ initiatives and fosters personality growth. • When the goal is achieved, the group will say: “we did this ourselves”

  13. Transactional Transactional leaders focus their leadership on motivating followers through a system of rewards and punishments. There are two factors which form the basis for this system • Contingent Reward Provides rewards, materialistic or psychological, for effort and recognizes good performance. • Management-by-Exception The leader intervenes when team members do not meet acceptable performance levels

  14. Transformational Transformational Leaders: • Challenge • Inspire • Create a vision of what they aspire to be • Communicate this idea to others
