CHAPTER 1- LEADERSHIP
I. INTRODUCTION
Leadership can have a formal or an informal aspect. Leadership as opposed to leading
usually implies that the entities doing the leading have leadership skills or competencies. Then
there is a leadership which does little active leading, but to which followers show great respect.
The ability to influence others is an integral to leadership. A front- runner in a sprint
may lead the race, but he does not have a position of leadership if he does not influence others
in some way. Hence, the important distinction between being in the lead and the process of
leadership.
Definition of Leadership
Leadership is the ability of an individual to influence, motivate and enable others to contribute
the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are members.
Leader refers to a person who may either be appointed or emerge from within a group which
influence others to perform beyond the actions dictated by formal authority.
2
It is impossible to draw a clear-cut line between personal qualities of leadership and the
external expressions of those qualities through action. The characteristic of a leader are too
closely interrelated, too interlocking to permit completion isolation of one from the other.
1. Indicators of Leadership
2. Psychology of Leadership
The maintenance of a high level of discipline and morale requires some practical
knowledge of the psychological factors that affect human behavior. Few supervisors
have an instinctive or intuitive knowledge of these factors that comes only with training
and experience.
3. Leadership Ethics
The position of true leadership places upon the leader a moral obligation to
adhere strictly to the high standards of honor and integrity. His moral code must be
beyond reproach. He must not only avoid all evil, he must avoid all appearance of evil.
His conduct is appraised in three frames of references – what it actually is, what he
thinks and what he appears to others.
LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES
a. be technically and tactically proficient
b. know yourself and seek self-improvement
c. know your men and look out for their welfare
d. keep your men informed
e. set the example
f. ensure that the task is understood supervised, and accomplished
g. train your men as a team
h. make sound and timely decisions
i. develop a sense of responsibility in your subordinates
j. employ your command in accordance with its capabilities
k. seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions
There is no best method of leadership; there are certain factors that should be
considered in choosing the most effective type of leadership. Thus, a group which is
aggressive and hostile may need a firm-hand, autocratic type of leadership.
"IF YOU WORK FOR A MAN, IN HEAVEN'S NAME WORK FOR HIM. IF HE PAYS
YOUR WAGES WHICH SUUPLY YOU BREAD AND BUTTER, WORK FOR HIM;
SPEAK WELL WITH HIM; STAND BY HIM AND BY THE INSTITUTION HE
REPRESENTS. IF PUT TO A PINCH, AN DUNCE OF LOYALTY IS WORTH A
POUND OF CLEVERNESS. IF YOU MUST VILLIFY, CONDEMN AND ETERNALLY
DISPERAGE, RESIGN YOUR POSITION, AND EVEN WHEN YOU ARE OUTSIDE,
DAMN TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT. BUT AS LONG AS YOU ARE PART OF
INSTITUTION DO NOT CONDEMN IT. IF YOU DO THAT YOU ARE LOOSENING
THE TENDRILS THAT ARE HOLDING YOU TO THE ORGANIZATION AND, AT
THE FIRST HIGH WIND THAT COMES ALONG, YOU WILL BE UPROOTED AND
BLOWN AWAY, AND PROBABLY YOU All L EVER KNOW THE REASON WHY."
2. POSITIVE THINKING
Real leaders will always be positive thinkers. They think in terms how things can be
done, not why they can't. They maintain an open mind to changes, new ideas, training
opportunities. They look to the future with confidence and this confidence is catching.
4
They are approachable. They take time to see and hear their subordinates.
4. INITIATIVE - an evidence of open and alert mind. The man with initiative continually
looks for better ways to do things. He doesn't wait for the other fellow to do them.
Tact - defined as saying 'and doing the right thing at the right way" the lubricating oil
in human relationship.
Courtesy - defined as treating others with respect. means treating people as important
human beings, not tool to be used for the convenience of the supervisor.
8. UNOBTRUSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS
LEADERS MUST HAVE THE DRIVE AND WILL-POWER to DO THINGS.
They also must have a hunger to be somebody, a will to get ahead.
11. TEACHING ABILITY - a great part of the supervisor's job consists of instructing his
men in one way or another. Even the giving of orders, is a form of instruction. Every
supervisor should learn and practice the art of public speaking, the techniques of
conference leadership, and the principles of the on-the job instruction.
12. FRIENDLY PERSONALITY - the real leader is business-like, but he looks things in
a friendly fashion. A ready smile, a friendly approach will open doors like magic.
A leader’s ability to influence others is largely determined by the power that the leader
is able to exert in a given situation. This power of supervisors over subordinates is known
as social power. Hereunder are the seven basis of leader’s social power.
1. Coercive Power
This is based on subordinate’s fear of the manager. Leaders who rely on coercive
power use punishment as their primary means of influencing others. Coercive leaders may
threaten punishment through undesirable work assignments, by administering reprimands,
or by dismissing non- compliant subordinates.
2. Expert Power
This is based on the leader’s position of expertise, skill or knowledge that convinces
the subordinates that the leader’s views should serve as basis for the action. Leaders who
rely on expert power use their perceived ability to improve the job performance of others
as their means of controlling decision making.
3. Legitimate Power
Typically, the higher the manager’s position in the organization hierarchy, the greater
his or her legitimate power. Managers who enjoys a high degree of legitimate power are
seen by their followers as having the right to dominate decision making.
4. Referent Power
This is based on the magnetism of the leader’s personal traits. Leaders who have high
reference or charismatic power are liked and admired by others. Subordinates typically
accede to the leader’s influence in order to increase identification with them.
5. Reward Power
This is based on the leader’s ability to provide rewards. Managers with high reward
power are perceived by their subordinates as being able to provide positive reward such as
pay, promotion, and recognition to followers who comply with their wishes.
6
6. Connection Power
This is based on the leader’s relationship with influential persons both inside and
outside the organization. Followers accede to the preferences of a leader with high
connection power because they wish to gain favor with such a well-connected person.
7. Information Power
This is based on the leader’s knowledge or of access to information that is believed to
be valuable to others. A leader which has a high information power is willingly followed
by those who need the leader’s information or who simply enjoy “being in on things”.
1. Visioning 6. clarifying
2. Listening 7. aligning
3. Communicating 8. encouraging
4. Persuading 9. consensus-building
5. Facilitating 10. decision-making
The most important determinant of leader effectiveness is the degree to which the
leader enjoys the acceptance, confidence, support and loyalty of subordinates. When
leader-member relations are strong, the leader has a full range or personal and
organizational basis of influence to use in trying to gain subordinate’s support. When
leader- member relations are weak, however, the leader’s influence is often reduced to the
impersonal power granted by the organization.
2. Task Structure
The degree to which the subordinates’ jobs are routine, in contrast to non- routine
is the measure of task structure. Highly structures tasks, such as those requiring a great deal
of repetition, confer much authority and power on managers. Such tasks are likely to have
very specific performance criteria. Tasks of a non- routine nature usually necessitates a
more democratic, less dominant style.
7
The extent of formal and informal power granted to the manager by the organization
is the measure of the leader position power. Such power is indicated by the manager’s
authority, vested in him or her by the top management of the organization. High position
power allows for the use of more autocratic leadership styles; low position power usually
requires a more democratic or even laissez- faire approach.

Module 2. Management
Specific Objectives:
At the end of the chapter the students must have:
1. Understood the concept of management.
2. Discussed the functions of management.
3. Stated the administrative principles and functions of management.
4. Explained the significance of management theories concerning police organization and
administration.
CHAPTER 2- MANAGEMENT
I. INTRODUCTION
Elements of Management
Management Principles
1. Span of control
2. A group of workers must have only one supervisor
3. Flow of communication
4. Staff and line function must be defined
5. Everyone in the organization knows his job and to whom he reports
With respect to this philosophy, the role of management changed abruptly from the
earlier use of the “rule of the thumb” to a more scientific approach, including scientifically
selecting, training, and developing workers, and ensuring that all the work would be done
in accordance with scientific principles, thus scientific management strongly adhered to the
formal organization structure and its rules.
2. Bureaucratic Management
(Max Weber, 1864-1920)
The concept of Bureaucracy is generally associated with the work of Max Weber,
who was the major contributor to modern sociology.
He studied the effect of social change in Europe at the end of the 19 th Century and
coined the term BUREAUCRACY to identify the complex organizations that operated on
a rational basis.
Weber believed that such an approach was a means of lessening the cruelty, nepotism,
and subjective managerial practices common in the early stages of the Industrial
Revolution. (for example, it was a standard practice to hire relatives regardless of their
competence and to allow only individuals of aristocratic birth to attain high-level positions
within government and industry.
Characteristics of Bureaucratic Organization

Pioneers of “The Science of Administration” (1937). In this book, they have described the
major functions of administration using the acronym POSDCRB.
• Planning – working out in broad outline the things that need to be done and the methods
for doing them to accomplish the purpose set for the enterprise.
• Organizing – establishment of the formal structure of authority through which work
subdivisions are arranged, defined, and coordinated for the define objective.
• Staffing – personnel function of bringing in and out training the staff and maintaining
the staff the favorable conditions of work. Filling the organization with the right people
and right position.
• Directing – task of making decisions and embodying them in specific and general
orders and instructions and serving as the leader of the enterprise
• Coordinating - the all-important duty of interrelating the various parts of the work.
• Reporting – is keeping those to whom the executive is responsible informed as to what
is going on, which thus includes keeping himself and his subordinates informed through
records research and inspection.
• Budgeting – with all that goes of budgeting in the form of fiscal planning, accounting,
and control.
V. THEORY OF MANAGEMENT
Theory X assumes that people have little ambition, dislike work, and must be
coerced in order to perform satisfactorily. Theory Y assumes that people do not inherently
dislike work and if properly rewarded, especially satisfying esteem and self-actualization
needs, will perform well on the job.
Theory X Assumptions
✓ The average person inherently dislikes work and will try to
avoid it
✓ Most people must be coerced, controlled, directed, and
threatened with punishment to get them to work towards
organizational goals
✓ The average person prefers to be directed, wants to avoid
responsibility, has relatively little ambition, and seeks security
above all.
Theory Y Assumptions
✓ Work, whether physical or mental, is as natural as play or rest,
and most people do not inherently dislike it
✓ External control and threat of punishment are not the only
means of bringing about effort toward organizational goals,
people will exercise self-direction and self-control when they
are committed
✓ Commitment to goals is a function of the rewards made
18
This is the movement towards quality management. Theorists have incorporated the
influences of the behavioral science and other earlier school of thoughts.
1. The System Theory - It simply means that all parts of a system are interrelated and
interdependent to form the whole. A system is composed of elements or subsystems
that are related and dependent upon one another. When these subsystems are in
interaction with one another, they form a unitary whole.
2. The Contingency Theory – This approach recognizes that many internal and external
environmental variables affect organizational behavior. In this case, there is no best
way for structuring and managing diverse types of organizations. So the underlying
theme of this theory is that it all depends on a particular situation. The task of managers
then is to determine in which situations and at what times certain methods or techniques
are the most effective. In this way, the approach is more pragmatic although it
encompasses relevant concepts of both classical and behavioral theories.
Blake and Mouton (1978) made their contributions in management by way of directing and
these are:
1. Task Management
2. Country Club Management
3. Middle of the Road Management
4. Impoverished Management
5. team Manager
Motivation theories
Bernstein, et al (1991) offered that at any time, many motives might guide a person’s
behavior. What determines which ones will? Abraham Maslow has given a perspective that
addresses this question. He suggested basic classes of needs, or motives, influencing human
behavior. These motives are organized in a hierarchy.
Abraham Maslow has suggested that human needs form a hierarchy from the most basic
biological requirements to the needs for self-actualization – the highest of all needs.
19
The pyramidal structures of human needs from the bottom to the top of the hierarchy,
the levels of needs or motive according to Maslow, are:
✓ Biological or Physiological Needs – these motives include the need for food, water,
oxygen, activity, and sleep.
✓ Safety Needs – these pertain to the motives of being cared for and being secured such
as in income and place to live.
✓ Love/Belongingness – Belongingness is integration into various kinds of social groups
or social organizations. Love needs means need for affection.
✓ Cognitive Needs – our motivation for learning and exploration
✓ Esteem Needs – our motivation for an honest, fundamental respect for a person as a
useful and honorable human being.
✓ Aesthetic Needs - our motivation for beauty and order
✓ Self- actualization – pertains to human total satisfaction, when people are motivated not
so much by unmet needs, as by the desire to become all they are capable of (self-
realization).
According to the Maslow’s formulation, the level that commands the individuals’
attention and effort is ordinarily the lowest one on which there is an unmet need. For example,
unless needs for food and safety are reasonably well-met behavior will be dominated by these
needs and higher motives are of little significant. With their gratification, however, the
individual is free to devote time and effort to meet higher level. In other words, one level must
at least be partially satisfied before those at the next level become determiners of action.
Clayton Aldefer has develop the ERG theory which is a modification of the Maslow’s
theory. ERG theory categorizes needs into Existence, Relatedness and Growth needs.
❖ Existence Needs – are desires for physiological and material well-being
❖ Relatedness Needs – are desires for satisfying interpersonal relationships
❖ Growth Needs – are desires for continued personal growth and development.
❖ Need for Affiliation – the desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm
relations with others
❖ Need for Power – the desire to control others, to influence their behavior, or to be
responsible for others.
McClelland’s view is that these three needs are acquired over time, as a result of life
experiences. People are motivated by these needs, each of which can be associated with
individual work preferences.
