Management Aligns resources and inspires workers to complete the vision and overcome hurdles. About coping with complexity (Kotter, 1990) Brings about order and consistency Draws up plans, structures, and monitors results. Traditional Theories of Leadership: Trait Theories 11-5 Trait theory focuses on personal qualities and characteristics Big Five Personality Framework Extraversion has strongest relation to leadership (Judge et al., 2002, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience also strongly related to leadership Agreeableness and Emotional Stability are not correlated with leadership Emotional Intelligence is correlated with leadership, however, this link is under-investigated (Goleman, 2004) Traditional Theories of Leadership: Behavioral Theories 11-6 Behaviors can be taught – traits cannot Leaders are trained – not born Behavioral Theories: Ohio State Studies (Schriesheim et al., 1995; Judge et al., 2004) 11-7 Developed two categories of leadership behavior: Initiating Structure Attempts to organize work, work relationships, and goals Consideration Concern for followers’ comfort, well-being, status, and satisfaction Behavioral Theories: University of Michigan Studies 11-8 Developed two dimensions of leadership behavior: Production Oriented Emphasize the technical or task aspects of the job: people are means to an end Employee Oriented Emphasize interpersonal relations and accept individual differences Contingency Theories 11-9 Attempts to match leadership style with work context as one leadership style does not work in every situation. Fiedler Model (LPC)(Feiedler, 1967) Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory (Stilwell, 1993; Masterson et al., 2000) Fiedler Leadership Model 1110 This model proposes that effective group performance depends on the proper match between the leader’s style and the degree to which the situation gives the leader control. Identifying Leadership Style: Least-Preferred Co-worker (LPC) determines leadership style (fixed trait) Relationship oriented Task oriented Match leader’s style with degree of situational control: Leader-member relations Task structure Position power Fiedler Model: Matching Leaders to Situations 1111 Either change leaders or the situation to improve effectiveness Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory 1112 Leaders treat followers differently In-group members: Close to leader in attitude or personality Have more of the leader’s attention Get special privileges Have Lower higher performance ratings turnover Greater satisfaction Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Model 1113 While the leader does the choosing, it is the followers’ characteristics that drive the decision Charismatic Leadership 1114 Attributions of heroic leadership abilities when followers observe certain behaviors: Vision Personal Risk-taking Sensitivity toward Followers Extraordinary Behaviors (Conger and Kanungo, 1998) Charismatic Leaders: Born or Made? 1115 Charisma is partially attributed to genetics and partially to training and experience. Charisma can be created by: Developing an aura of charisma (Richardson and Thayer, 1993) Be optimistic Be passionately enthusiastic Commute with body, not just words Drawing others in – inspire others Tapping into emotions – bring out the potential in others How Charismatic Leaders Influence Followers (Shamir et al., 1993) 1116 Articulate an appealing vision Communicates a new set of values Model behaviors for those values Express dramatic behavior Charisma and Situational Dependency 1117 Charisma strongly correlated to high performance and satisfaction (Hoogh et al., 2004) Best used when: Environment is uncertain or stressful (House, 1976; House and Aditya, 1997) Ideology is involved (Pastor et al., 2007) Most closely associated with upper level executives People are most receptive to charisma when there is a crisis. The Potential Dark Side of Charismatic Leadership 1118 Use organizational resources for personal benefit Remake companies in their own image Allow self-interest and personal goals to override organization’s goals (Tosi, 2004) Transformational Leadership 1119 Transactional leaders - motivate their followers in the direction of established goals by clarifying role and task requirements Transformational leaders - inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests for the good of the organization Full Range of Leadership Model 1120 Why Transformational Leadership Works 1121 Creativity Followers are encouraged to be more innovative and creative (Ling et ai., 2008) Goals Followers pursue more ambitious goals and have more personal commitment to them (Colbert et al., 2008) Vision Engenders commitment from followers and greater sense of trust Evaluation of Transformational Leadership 1122 Effectively used in various job levels and disparate occupations Tends to be more effective in smaller companies (Ling et al., 2008) Works better when the leader is closer to the followers Transformational Leadership has positive job outcomes such as lower turnover and lower absenteeism (Hetland et al., 2007) Transformational Vs. Charismatic Leadership 1123 Both positively related to motivation, satisfaction, performance, effectiveness, and profitability Transformational leadership MAY be a broader concept than charisma The two forms may be the same Authentic Leadership: Ethics as the Basis for Leadership? 1124 Authentic leaders know who they are, what they believe in and value, and act on those values and beliefs openly and candidly (Tan, 2006) Create trust Encourage open communication Ethics and Leadership 1125 Ethics and Leadership intersect at many junctures. Executives set the moral tone for an organization so they must set and adhere to high ethical values. Leadership is not value free, and the means by which a leader achieves their goal must be framed by ethics. Trust 1126 Information Sharing Taking Risks Trust Effective Groups Enhanced Productivity Challenges to the Leadership Construct 1127 Attribution Theory of Leadership (Meindl, 1993; Schyns et al., 2007) Performance outcomes are attributed to leaders actions Appearance has more to do with leadership than outcomes Substitutes and Neutralizers Organizational variables can neutralize the leader’s influence or act as substitutes for leadership Leader becomes irrelevant (Van Vugt and Spisak, 2008) Online Leaders 1128 Networked communication is a powerful channel Challenges include identification-based trust Leadership can be effective in an online environment and many of the same theories apply. Electronic communication and writing skills need to be an extension of interpersonal skills Global Implications 1129 GLOBE Leadership Project Results: Brazil – Leaders are participative and humane France – Bureaucratic, task-oriented, and autocratic Egypt – Participative but status-aware China – Initiating structure and consideration important: status differences but participation valued Charisma and transformational leadership important in all Implications for Managers 1130 Leaders influence group performance Leadership success depends somewhat on having “the right stuff” Leadership depends on the situation Transformational skills becoming more important Managers must be authentic and develop trust relationships with their followers Select and train based on traits and qualities Keep in Mind… 1131 Leaders can influence a group toward the achievement of goals Best leaders are ethical and authentic in addition to being charismatic In most cultures, charisma and vision are valued – although their means of expression may differ Summary 1132 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
