Often considered among the most desirable
employees, people who show T.L. typically inspire staff
through effective communication and by creating an
environment of intellectual stimulation.
“However, these individuals are often blue-sky
thinkers and may require more detail-oriented
managers to successfully implement their strategic
visions.”
T.L. is focused on group organization, establishing a
clear chain of command and implementing a carrot-
and-stick approach to management activities.
Leaders offer an exchange; they reward good
performances, while punishing bad practice.
Effective in completing short-term tasks.
But, employees are unlikely to reach their full creative
potential in such conditions.
People who practice servant leadership prefer power-
sharing models of authority, prioritizing the needs of their
team and encouraging collective decision-making.
It is described as altruistic leadership.
It can improve diversity and boost morale.
However, detractors suggest servant leaders lack authority
and suffer a conflict of interest by putting their employees
ahead of business objectives.
An extreme version of transactional leadership, A.T. have significant
control over staff and rarely consider worker suggestions or share
power.
“Ruling with an iron fist is rarely appreciated by staff, which can lead
to high turnover and absenteeism.”
There can also be a lack of creativity due to strategic direction
coming from a single individual.
This style is best suited to environments where jobs are fairly
routine or require limited skills. It is common in military
organizations.
It literally means “let them do” in French or “let it be”.
L.F. leaders are characterized by their hands-off
approach, allowing employees to get on with tasks as
they see fit.
It is effective in creative jobs or workplaces where
employees are very experienced.
But, it is important that leaders monitor performance and effectively
communicate expectations to prevent work standards slipping.
Also known as participative leadership.
This style means leaders often ask for input from team
members before making a final decision.
“Workers usually report higher levels of job satisfaction in
these environments and the company can benefit from
better creativity.”
On the downside, the democratic process is normally
slower and may not function well in workplaces where
quick decision-making is crucial.
B.L. models are most often implemented in highly
regulated or administrative environments, where
adherence to the rules and a defined hierarchy are
important.
“These leaders ensure people follow the rules and carry out
tasks by the book.”
Naturally, this works well in certain roles – such as health
and safety – but can stifle innovation and creativity in more
agile, fast-paced companies.
There is an overlap between charismatic & transformational
leadership.
Both styles rely heavily on the positive charm and
personality of the leader in question.
But, C.L. is usually considered less favorable, largely because
the success of projects and initiatives is closely linked
to the presence of the leader.
While T.L. build confidence in a team that remains when they
move on.
It is a theory that the best leaders utilize a
range of different styles depending on the
environment.
e.g. situational leaders may adopt a democratic leadership style
when discussing commercial direction with senior executives,
but switch to a bureaucratic strategy when relaying new factory
protocols to workers.
Many people have a natural leadership
style, which can make switching
between roles challenging.
It can also be difficult to gauge what
style is most suitable for certain
circumstances, holding up decision-
making processes.
