11. Three types of authority proposed by Max Weber
1. Traditional leadership
2. Charismatic leadership
3. Legal Rational leadership

12. How do you explain the Traditional leadership
Traditional leader ship is very strong leader ship style
with some basic characteristic like
• Men dominate style
• Rule over others with out question
• Handed down from past
• Given legitimacy by custom

13. Is Traditional leadership applicable for
present business environment
Really in my point of views :
Present competitive business world it is not practicable,
But it would be true
that traditional leadership is much applicable for military or
religious frameworks which has strong hierarchy and clear
orders.

14. Do you have any experience on that
Indeed, Not in business life but in privet life. That is form
My mother. She was very strong lady who dose not change
here words

15. How do you describe charismatic leadership
• Charismatic leader is a real leader among the leaders.
• He has very balance mind about his fellows and vision.
• He enrich with very specific characteristics:
• Stimulation to do creative works
• Self confidence
• Imaginative ability
• Strong ability to convince his thought
• Every time mingle with subordinate
• Take risks

16. Are charismatic leaders born or made? Your idea
In my perception , it is very difficult to give an answer; because
During my carrier I have witness there are some born talent leaders
And there some leaders who have developed
their skills in mid of their age

17. To achieve organizational goals could we apply charismatic leadership styl
Indeed, It could be. Because the leader how has good charisma, He has power to
convince his idea, his thoughts to the people under him and get the works done
To reach his targets.

18. If we concern about the commercial and industrial
organizational 'Is it possible to see the charismatic
leadership'
Really it not charismatic style, but I could say that it is a combination of
Leadership styles. Because all commercial organizations are profit
oriented organization. Some how they need cover the give targets.
So leaders are compelled to practice deferent styles.

19. Do you think boss centered leader is coursed
to reduce the efficiency of organization.
No
Boss centered leader ship consist many advantage like:
 Quick decision making
 Streamlined work process
 Absolute control
 Close supervision

20. According to you views, What are the
advantages of subordinate centered leadership
It has many advantage
• It consist highly motivated employees
• Employees are energetic
• Employees have self confidence
• Job satisfaction level usually rise
• New innovation will be introduced
• Managers are mentally free to implement more development projects
• And also Employees believe they have a "say"
in decision-making and workplace efficiency

21. What is the use of contingency theory
for the organization
Really it is very important. To achieve expected organizational goals
With in the given time period , it should be annualized employees
Capabilities, skill, competencies and motivations then leader should
Suggest his leadership style accordingly. That helps organization to
achieve their goals effectively efficiently.

22. Do you practice contingency theory leader ship
Nothing much deferent from theory. For example, I evaluate newly
Joined staff members every day and I will give them advices
and guidance Until I satisfied, but I evaluate senior members
every two weeks. Managers will be evaluated in every month.

24. SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP THEORY

Hersey.
