Hi Maxine,

In order to answer your question I will give as example Robert House path goal
theory (cited by Robbins.S and all 2012) where leaders are presented as persons
who will facilitate the way for the followers in order to achieve their goals.
One of the leadership behaviours presented is directive leadership, in which the
leader is giving clear and detailed instructions, explaining what is expected from
each team member and scheduling specific timing and work to be done.
This type of leadership behaviour will be successful in case of ambiguous situations
or stressful deadlines.(Robbinss 2005)
On the other hand, directive leadership, can be perceived as redundant in case the
team members are highly skilled or very experienced.(Robbinss 2012).
Furthermore, directive leadership can be effective in case of group conflict, when is
important that someone will take charge of the situation.
Participative leadership will take into consideration the team members opinion and
will take decision accordingly.
Supportive leaders will show full support and friendly approach for their followers
while achievement oriented leaders will sets challenging goals and expect high
performance.(Robbins,S,2012)
Reflecting on my personal experience, I have built a good relation with most of my
staff. This allows me to be, somehow, part of their lives and help them reach their
goals. I use to treat all my staff with respect, no matter what their designation is.
I can recognise that I am using a combination of all this leadership behaviours,
according to the task itself, the time given for accomplishment and the team
members experience and qualification.
