LEADERSHIP

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. Great leaders possess
dazzling social intelligence, a zest for change, and above all, a vision that allows
them to set their sights on the things that truly merit attention. Not a bad skill set
for the rest of us, either

Leadership styles are the ways in which a leader views leaderships and performs
it in order to accomplish their goals. This chapter provides a guide for
understanding what different styles look like, which ones are more and less
effective, and how you can develop or change your style to come closer to the
ideal you aspire to.

Types of Leadership

AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
 Is centered on the boss. In this leadership the leader holds all authority
and responsibility.
 In this leadership, leaders make decisions on their own without consulting
subordinates. They reach decisions, communicate them to subordinates
and expect prompt implementation.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
 In this leadership style, subordinates are involved in making decisions.
Unlike autocratic, this headship is centered on subordinates’ contributions.

 The democratic leader holds final responsibility, but he or she is known to

delegate authority to other people, who determine work projects.
STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP STYLE
 Strategic leadership is one that involves a leader who is essentially the
head of an organization. The strategic leader is not limited to those at the
top of the organization.

 It is geared to a wider audience at all levels who want to create a high

performance life, team or organization.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
 Transformational leadership is all about initiating change in organizations,
groups, oneself and others.
 Leaders motivate others to do more than they originally intended and often
even more than they thought possible.
 They set more challenging expectations and typically achieve higher
performance.

TEAM LEADERSHIP
 Involves the creation of a vivid picture of its future, where it is heading and
what it will stand for. The vision inspires and provides a strong sense of
purpose and direction.
 Team leadership is about working with the hearts and minds of all those
involved.

CROSS-CULTURAL LEADERSHIP
 This form of leadership normally exists where there are various cultures in
the society. This leadership has also industrialized as a way to recognize
front runners who work in the contemporary globalized market.
 Organizations, particularly international ones require leaders who can
effectively adjust their leadership to work in different environs.

FACILITATIVE LEADERSHIP
 Too dependent on measurements and outcomes – not a skill, although it
takes much skill to master.
 The effectiveness of a group is directly related to the efficacy of its process.
If the group is high functioning, the facilitative leader uses a light hand on
the process.
 An effective facilitative leadership involves monitoring of group dynamics,
offering process suggestions and interventions to help the group stay on
track.

LAISSEZ-FAIRE LEADERSHIP
 Laissez-faire leadership gives authority to employees.
 According to Azcentral, departments or subordinates are allowed to work
as they choose with minimal or no interference.
 According to research, this kind of leadership has been consistently found
to be the least satisfying and least effective management style.

TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP
  This is a leadership that maintains or continues the status quo.
 It is also the leadership that involves an exchange process, whereby
followers get immediate, tangible rewards for carrying out the leader’s
orders.
 Transactional leadership can sound rather basic, with its focus on
exchange.
 Transactional leadership behaviors can include: clarifying what is expected
of followers’ performance; explaining how to meet such expectations; and
allocating rewards that are contingent on meeting objectives.

COACHING LEADERSHIP
 Coaching leadership involves teaching and supervising followers. A
coaching leader is highly operational in setting where results/ performance
require improvement.
 Basically, in this kind of leadership, followers are helped to improve their
skills.
 Coaching leadership does the following: motivates followers, inspires
followers and encourages followers.

CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP
 In this leadership, the charismatic leader manifests his or her revolutionary
power.
 Charisma does not mean sheer behavioral change. It actually involves a
transformation of followers’ values and beliefs.
 Therefore, this distinguishes a charismatic leader from a simply populist
leader who may affect attitudes towards specific objects, but who is not
prepared as the charismatic leader is, to transform the underlying
normative orientation that structures specific attitudes.

VISIONARY LEADERSHIP
 This form of leadership involves leaders who recognize that the methods,
steps and processes of leadership are all obtained with and through people.
 Most great and successful leaders have the aspects of vision in them.
