influence to direct and coordinate the
activities of group members to meet a
goal.

the two

MANAGEMENT AND
LEADERSHIP
EARLY APPROACHES TO
LEADERSHIP
 Although leaders and leadership have
profoundly influenced the course of
human events , careful scientific study of
them began only about a centure ago.
Early studies focused on the traits, or
personal characteristics of leaders
TRAIT APPROACHES
 Lincoln. Napoleon, joan of arc, Hitler and
Gandhi are names that most of us know
quite well early researchers believed that
leaders such as these had some unique
set of qualities or traitsthat distinguish
them from their peers.
BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES TO
LEADERSHIP
 In the late 1940s most researchers began
to shift away from the traits approach and
started to look at leadership as an
observable to process or activity.
THE MICHIGAN STUDIES
 The Michigan studies leadership studies
were a program of research conducted
at the university of Michigan. The goal of
this work was to determine the patterns of
leadership behaviors that results in
effective group performance.
LEADERSHIP GRID
Provides a means for evaluating leadership styles and
then training managers to move toward an ideal style
of behavior
THE EMERGENCE SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP MODELS
The leader- behavior theories have played an
importantant role in the development of more realistic,
albeit more complex approaches to leadership.in

properties may be possessed by leaders but to instead
concentrate on that leaders actually to do.

VROOMS DECISION TREE APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP
 The third major contemporary approach
to leadership is vroomS decision tree
approach. The earliest version of this
model was propoed by victor vroom and
Philip yetton and latter revided and
expanded by vroom and Arthur jago.
BASIC PREMISES
 Vrooms decision tree approach assumes
that the degree to which subordinates
should be encouraged to participate in
decision making depends on the
characteristic of the situation
EVALUATION AND
IMPLICATIONS
 Because Vrooms current approach is
lelatively new it has not been fully
scientifically tested. The original model
and its subsequent refinement however
attracted a great deal of attention and
were generally supported by research.
