 Leadership

"Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a

vision that is well communicated, building trust among
colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your
own leadership potential."
Prof. Warren Bennis
FORMULA OF LEADERSHIP
 LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOURS
Leadership behaviour also known as Leadership Styles are
the patterns of behaviour which a leader adopts in influencing
the behaviour of his followers.
These patterns emerge in the leader as he begins to respond in
the same fashion under similar conditions.
These styles are either based on either behavioural approach
or situational approach.
 Behavioural Theory
Leadership behaviour my be viewed in two ways: functional
and dysfunctional.
Functional behaviour influences followers positively.
Dysfunctional behaviour is unfavourable to the followers and
denotes ineffective leadership, such a behaviour may be
inability to accept employees ideas, display of emotional
immaturity, poor human relation etc.
 Behavioural Theory
Leadership styles are also broadly classified based on three
points of view:
1) Motivation
2) Authority
3) Supervision.
 Behavioural Theory
1. Motivation
. On the basis of motivation leadership style can be positive or
negative style.
. In positive style a leader motivates his followers to work hard
by offering them rewards, for example, higher bonus.
. In negative styles, a leader forces his followers to work hard
and punishes them for lower productivity.

2. Authority
. On the basis of Authority, leadership styles are divided into
three types namely
I. Autocratic
II. Democratic

III. Delegative (Free rein).

 Autocratic
In this type the leader alone determines policies and makes plans.
He demands strict obedience and relies on power.
The merits of this type of leadership is that, it can increase
efficiency, save time, and get quick results under emergency
conditions, chain of command and division of work are clear.
The demerits are people are treated machine-like cogs without
human dignity, one way communication without feedback and
the leader receives little or no input from his sub-ordinates for his
decision-making which is dangerous in the current dynamic
environment.
 Democratic
Also known as participative or person-oriented leadership.
In this style, the entire group is involved in goal setting and
achieving it.
Workers feel ownership of the firm and its ideas.
This type of leadership encourages people to develop and
grow, receives information and ideas from his subordinates to
make decisions, and boosts the morale of employees.
 Delegative (Free rein)
In this style, the leader allows the team (or individual) to make the
decision.
Leadership is provided to the group indirectly rather than directly.
Group members are presented a task to perform and are given free
rein to figure out how to perform it best.
The leader does not get involved unless requested. Team members
are allowed all the freedom they want as long as they do not
violate policy.
In short, the free rein leader delegates completely. However, the
leader is still responsible for the decisions that are made.
