Managers Versus Leaders

• •

“Not all leaders are managers, nor are all managers leaders.”

Managers  Persons whose influence on others is limited to the appointed managerial authority of their positions to reward and punish.

Leaders  Persons with managerial and personal power who can influence others to perform actions beyond those that could be dictated by those persons’ formal (position) authority alone.

11 –4

Trait Theories Of Leadership

• Trait Theories of Leadership  Theories that attempt to isolate characteristics that differentiate leaders from nonleaders  Attempts to identify traits that always differentiate leaders from followers and effective leaders from ineffective leaders have failed.

 Attempts to identify traits consistently associated with leadership have been more successful.

11 –5

Behavioral Theories Of Leadership

• Behavioral Theories of Leadership  Attempt to isolate behaviors that differentiate effective leaders from ineffective leaders.

 Behavioral studies focus on identifying critical behavioral determinants of leadership that, in turn, could be used to train people to become leaders.

11 –7

Identifiable Leadership Behaviors

• Autocratic Style of Leadership  Centralizes authority, dictates work methods, makes unilateral decisions, and limits employee participation.

• Democratic Style of Leadership  Involves employees in decision making, delegates authority, encourages participation in deciding work methods and goals, and uses feedback.



A democratic-consultative leader

seeks input and hears the concerns and issues of employees but makes the final decision him or herself.



A democratic-participative leader

to have a say in what’s decided. often allows employees

11 –8

Identifiable Leadership Behaviors (cont’d)

• Laissez-Faire Style of Leadership  Gives employees complete freedom to make decisions and to decide on work methods • Conclusions about Leadership Styles  The laissez-faire leadership style is ineffective.

 Quantity of work is equal under authoritarian and democratic leadership styles.

 Quality of work and satisfaction is higher under democratic leadership.

The Ohio State Studies

• Studies that sought to identify independent dimensions of leader behavior  Initiating structure  The extent to which a leader defines and structures his or her role and the roles of employees to attain goals  Consideration  The extent to which a leader has job relationships characterized by mutual trust, respect for employees’ ideas, and regard for their feelings

11 –11

The University Of Michigan Studies

• Studies that sought to identify the behavioral characteristics of leaders related to performance effectiveness  Employee oriented leader  Emphasizes interpersonal relations, takes a personal interest in the needs of employees, and accepts individual differences.

 Production oriented leader  Emphasizes technical or task aspects of a job, is concerned mainly with accomplishing tasks, and regards group members as a means to accomplishing goals.

11 –13

Contingency Theories Of Leadership

• The Fiedler Contingency Leadership Model  Effective group performance depends on the proper match between the leader’s style of interacting with employees and the degree to which the situation gives control and influence to the leader  Uses Least-preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire, to measure the leader’s task or relationship orientation.

 Identified three situational criteria —

leader member relations, task structure, and position power

—that could be manipulated match an inflexible (fixed) leadership style.

11 –14

11 –15

Contingency Theories…(cont’d)

• Path-Goal Theory (House)  It is a leader’s job to assist followers in attaining their goals and to provide the necessary direction and support  A leader’s motivational behavior:  Makes employee need satisfaction contingent on effective performance.

 Provides the coaching, guidance, support, and rewards necessary for effective performance.

 Assumes that the leader’s style is flexible and can be changed to adapt to the situation at hand.

11 –16

Path-Goal Leadership Behaviors

• • • • Directive leader  Lets employees know what is expected of them, schedules work to be done, and gives specific guidance as to how to accomplish tasks.

Supportive leader  Is friendly and shows concern for the needs of employees.

Participative leader  Consults with employees and uses their suggestions before making a decision.

Achievement-oriented leader  Sets challenging goals and expects employees to perform at their highest levels.

11 –17

11 –18

Contingency Leadership Models

• Leader-Participation Model (Vroom, Yetton and Jago)  Provides a sequential set of rules for determining the form and amount of participation a leader should exercise in decision making according to different types of situations.

 The model is a decision tree incorporating seven contingencies (whose relevance can be identified by making yes or no choices) and five alternative leader ship styles.

 Assumes an adaptable leadership style.

11 –20

Situational Leadership

® • Situational Leadership Theory (SLT)  Leaders should adjust their leadership styles — telling, selling, participating, and delegating —in accordance with the readiness of their followers.



Acceptance:

Leader effectiveness reflects the reality that it is the followers who accept or reject the leader.



Readiness:

a follower’s ability and willingness to perform.

 At higher levels of readiness, leaders respond by reducing control over and involvement with employees.

Emerging Approaches To Leadership

• Charismatic Leadership Theory  Followers make attributions of heroic or extraordinary leadership abilities when they observe certain behaviors.

 People working for charismatic leaders are motivated to exert extra work effort and, because they like and respect their leaders, express greater satisfaction.

 Charisma leadership appears to be most appropriate when the followers’ task has a ideological component or when the environment involves a high degree of stress and uncertainty.

11 –23

Charismatic Leadership

• A charismatic leader influences followers by:  Stating a vision that provides a sense of community by linking the present with a better future.  Communicating high expectations and expressing confidence that followers can attain them.

 Conveying, through words and actions, a new set of values, and by his or her behavior setting an example for followers to imitate.

 Making self-sacrifices and engaging in unconventional behavior to demonstrate courage and convictions about the vision.

11 –25

Visionary Leadership

•

“A vision should create enthusiasm, bringing energy and commitment to the organization.”

 The key properties of a vision are inspirational possibilities that are value centered, realizable, and have superior imagery and articulation.

The ability to express the vision not just verbally but through the leader’s behavior.

 Behaving in ways that continually convey and reinforce the vision. The ability to extend the vision to different leadership contexts.

 Sequencing activities so the vision can be applied in a variety of situations.

11 –27

• • Transactional Leaders  Guide or motivate their followers toward established goals by clarifying role and task requirements.

Transformational Leaders  Inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests for the good of the organization and are capable of having a profound and extraordinary effect on followers.

Other Leadership Variables

• National Culture  Leadership styles reflect the cultural conditions that followers have come to expect.

 Leadership theories developed in the United States have an American bias.

 Power distance varies among cultures and affects participative management’s effectiveness  High power distance = autocratic leadership style  Low power distance = participative leadership style

11 –31
