- 11. Most Common Leadership Styles
- 12. Autocratic leaders have a lot of power on their people. Staff and team members have little opportunity to make suggestions. The benefit of autocratic leadership is that it's incredibly efficient. Decisions are made quickly, and work gets done efficiently. Effective for some routine and unskilled jobs. The downside is that most people resent being treated this way. lead to high levels of absenteeism and high staff turnover. The military often uses an autocratic leadership style; top commanders are responsible for quickly making complex decisions, which allows troops to focus their attention and energy on performing their allotted tasks and missions.
- 13. Bureaucratic leaders work "by the book" They follow rules rigorously, and ensure that their people follow procedures precisely. It’s appropriate for : doing routine tasks (such as manufacturing) work involving serious safety risks (such as working with machinery, with toxic substances, or at dangerous heights). The downside of this leadership style is that It's ineffective in teams and organizations that rely on flexibility, creativity, or innovation. Bureaucratic leaders achieve their position because of their ability to conform to and uphold rules, not because of their qualifications or expertise.
- 15. Leaders inspire enthusiasm in their teams and they are energetic in motivating others to move forward. This ability to create excitement and commitment is an enormous benefit. The downside to charismatic leaders is that they can believe more in themselves than in their teams. This can create the risk that a project or even an entire organization might collapse if the leader leaves. They might believe that they can do no wrong, even when others are warning them about the path they’re on; and this feeling of invincibility can ruin a team or an organization. In the followers' eyes, success is directly connected to the presence of the charismatic leader. As such, charismatic leadership carries great responsibility, and it needs a long-term commitment from the leader.
- 16. Democratic leaders make the final decisions, but they include team members in the decision-making process. There are many benefits of democratic leadership. They encourage creativity, and team members are often highly engaged in projects and decisions, also help develop people's skills. Team members tend to have high job satisfaction and increased productivity. because they're more involved in decisions. Team members feel in control of their destiny, so they're motivated to work hard by more than just a financial reward. The downside of democratic leadership is that: It can often hinder situations where speed or efficiency is essential. The approach can be most suitable and essential when working as a team, and when quality is more important than efficiency or productivity.
- 17. This French phrase means "leave it be," and it describes leaders who allow their people to work on their own. Laissez-faire leaders may give their teams complete freedom to do their work and set their own deadlines. They provide team support with resources and advice, if needed, but otherwise don't get involved. It’s effective if the leader monitors performance and gives feedback to team members regularly and when individual team members are experienced, skilled, self-starters. The main benefit this style is that giving team members so much autonomy can lead to high job satisfaction and increased productivity. The downside is that it can be damaging if team members don't manage their time well or if they don't have the knowledge, skills, or motivation to do their work effectively.
- 18. Leaders are totally focused on organizing, supporting, and developing the people on their teams. This is a participatory style and tends to encourage good teamwork and creative collaboration. They're friendly and approachable, they pay attention to the welfare of everyone in the group, and they make themselves available whenever team members need help or advice and they treat everyone equally. The benefit of this leadership style is that people-oriented leaders create teams that everyone wants to be part of. Team members are often more productive and willing to take risks, because they know that the leader will provide support if they need it. some leaders can take this approach too far; they may put the development of their team above tasks or project directives.
- 19. Task-oriented leaders focus only on getting the job done and can be autocratic. They actively define the work and the roles required, put structures in place, and plan, organize, and monitor work. (Director) The benefit of task-oriented leadership is that it ensures that deadlines are met, and it's especially useful for team members who don't manage their time well. The downside is that task-oriented leaders don't tend to think much about their team's well-being, so this approach can suffer many of the flaws of autocratic leadership, including causing motivation and retention problems. In practice, most leaders use both task-oriented and people-oriented styles of leadership together
- 21. Transactional leaders focus on increasing the efficiency of established routines and procedures and are more concerned with following existing rules than with making changes to the structure of the organization. the leader promotes compliance of his/her followers through both rewards and punishments Although this might sound controlling and paternalistic, transactional leadership offers some benefits: It clarifies everyone's roles and responsibilities. It judges team members on performance, so people who are ambitious or who are motivated by external rewards often thrive. The downside of this leadership style is that : Team members can do little to improve their job satisfaction. It can feel stifling, and it can lead to high staff turnover. It is really a type of management, not a true leadership style, because the focus is on short-term tasks. It has serious limitations for knowledge-based or creative work.
- 23. Transformational leaders are inspiring and they enhance the motivation, morale, and performance of followers because they expect the best from everyone on their team as well as themselves. This leads to high productivity and engagement from everyone in their team. The downside of transformational leadership is that while the leader's enthusiasm is passed onto the team, he or she can need to be supported by "detail people.” That's why, in many organizations, both transactional and transformational leadership styles are useful. Transactional leaders (or managers) ensure that routine work is done reliably, while transformational leaders look after initiatives that add new value.
- 25. This term, created by Robert Greenleaf in the 1970s, describes a leader often not formally recognized as such. When someone at any level within an organization leads by meeting the needs of the team, he or she can be described as a "servant leader.” They have high integrity and lead by example and with generosity. Servant leaders often "lead from behind," preferring to stay out of the limelight and letting their team accept recognition for their hard work. It help to create a positive culture and can lead to high morale among team members. It's often most practical in politics. The downside is that people who practice servant leadership can find themselves left behind by leaders using other leadership styles. It takes time to apply correctly: it's unsuitable in situations where you have to make quick decisions or meet tight deadlines.
- 27. Principle-centered leadership is created when the values of the follower and leader overlap. Control is apparent, but it is not external; it is self-control. PCL Power is based on trust, respect and honor, not fear or coercion. Integrity, maturity and an abundance mentality are character traits essential to greatness. PCL style takes time but it really worth to go through its four-step process: Trustworthiness at the Personal Level Trust at the Interpersonal Level Empowerment at the Managerial Level Alignment at the Organizational Level
- 29. The situational approach tries to describe the leadership development. Leadership isn’t static, but dynamic. The purpose of every leadership dynamic is the maturity and autonomy of the followers. They become mature, if they have high degree of competence and commitment, so that the leader delegates tasks to them. We call someone mature follower, if he/she participates actively and critically in the leadership process and accomplishes tasks by himself / herself without direction of the other. He/she isn’t mere a subordinate, but a partner of the leader.
