2. Early thinking that leaders were born not
made was reflected on the trait theories of
leadership. These theories propose that
there are qualities that will tend to be
associated with leaders and will result in
success in leadership activities.
Models of leadership in the workplace
3. The transformational leadership model
• The transformation leadership model makes a
distinction between transactional leaders and
transformational leaders.
• Transactional leaders refer to the relationship
where there is an exchange of some sort
between leaders and followers
5. A laissez faire leader lacks direct supervision of employees and fails
to provide regular feedback to those under his supervision. Highly
experienced and trained employees requiring little supervision fall
under the laissez faire leadership style. Not all employees possess
those characteristics. This leadership style hinders the production
of employees needing supervision. The laissez faire style produces
no leadership or supervision efforts from managers, which can lead
to poor production, lack of control and increasing costs.
Laissez-Faire
6. Autocratic
The autocratic leadership style allows managers to make
decisions alone without the input of others. Managers possess
total authority and impose their will on employees. No one
challenges the decisions of autocratic leaders. Countries such as
Cuba and North Korea operate under the autocratic leadership
style. This leadership style benefits employees who require close
supervision. Creative employees who thrive in group functions
detest this leadership style
7. Participative
Also can be called the democratic leadership style, participative leadership
values the input of team members and peers, but the responsibility of making
the final decision rests with the participative leader. Participative leadership
boosts employee morale because employees make contributions to the
decision-making process. It causes them to feel as if their opinions matter.
When a company needs to make changes within the organization, the
participative leadership style helps employees accept changes easily because
they play a role in the process. This style meets challenges when companies
need to make a decision in a short period.
8. Transactional
Managers using the transactional leadership style receive certain tasks to
perform and provide rewards or punishments to team members based on
performance results. Managers and team members set predetermined
goals together, and employees agree to follow the direction and
leadership of the manager to accomplish those goals. The manager
possesses power to review results and train or correct employees when
team members fail to meet goals. Employees receive rewards, such as
bonuses, when they accomplish goals.
9. Transformational
The transformational leadership style depends on high levels of
communication from management to meet goals. Leaders motivate
employees and enhance productivity and efficiency through
communication and high visibility. This style of leadership requires
the involvement of management to meet goals. Leaders focus on the
big picture within an organization and delegate smaller tasks to the
team to accomplish goals.
11. Leaders in broadcasting are very
important. Without them the
shows would never go on.
Leaders in broadcasting are
also commonly men. So also
being able to present some
women in the leadership of
broadcasting companies is very
important and exciting.
