This PowerPoint presentation discusses leadership and influence processes. It begins by describing the nature of leadership and distinguishing between leadership and management. It then evaluates two generic approaches to leadership - the traits approach and leadership behaviors approach. Several situational approaches to leadership are identified and described, including the leadership continuum, least preferred coworker theory, path-goal theory, and leader-member exchange approach. Related approaches like charismatic leadership and transformational leadership are also covered. The presentation concludes by discussing political behavior in organizations and how it can be managed.

Opening Case
Land of the Giant
This case profiles a visionary leader, Gwyn Morgan of EnCana Corp. in Calgary, know as the ‘philosopher-king’ of the oil patch. He exhibits charismatic qualities including a clear vision of a global energy giant headquartered in Canada, and strong communication skills to inspire others to work toward this vision. He appeals to ideological values through the ‘corporate constitution’, and provides intellectual stimulation for followers through the values such as ‘seize opportunities’, ‘teamwork and trust’, and ‘fear of the status quo’. He inspires followers to rise to new levels of performance by communicating his expectations for leadership ‘with character, competence, and humility’ to achieve ‘nothing less than the best effort’. His display of confidence in himself and in the employees of Alberta Energy Co. Ltd. and PanCanadian Energy Corp., led to the merger of these two companies to form EnCana Corp. – definitely performance beyond the call of duty.
Chapter Summary
Leadership
Leadership is defined as influencing employees to voluntarily pursue organizational goals. It is a social influence process in which the leader seeks the voluntary participation of subordinates in an effort to reach organizational goals.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Leadership Activity Management
Establishing direction and
vision for the organization
Creating an agenda Planning and budgeting,
allocating resources
Aligning people through
communications and actions
that provide direction
Developing a human
network for achieving
the agenda
Organizing and staffing,
structuring and monitoring
implementation
Motivating and inspiring
by satisfying needs
Executing plans Controlling and problem solving
Produces useful change and
new approaches to challenges
Outcomes Produces predictability and order
and attains results
5. Activity Management Leadership
Creating an agenda Planning and budgeting: Establishing detailed
steps and timetables for achieving needed
results; allocating the resources necessary to
make those needed results happen
Establishing direction: Developing a
vision of the future, often the distant
future, and strategies for producing the
changes needed to achieve that vision
Developing a human
network for achieving
the agenda
Organizing and staffing: Establishing some
structure for accomplishing plan requirements,
staffing that structure with individuals, delegating
responsibility and authority for carrying out the
plan, providing policies and procedures to help
guide people, and creating methods or systems
to monitor implementation
Aligning people: Communicating the
direction by words and deeds to
everyone whose cooperation may be
needed to influence the creation of
teams and coalitions that understand the
visions and strategies and accept their
validity
Executing plans Controlling and problem solving: Monitoring
results versus planning in some detail,
identifying deviations, and then planning and
organizing to solve these problems
Motivating and inspiring: Energizing
people to overcome major political,
bureaucratic, and resource barriers by
satisfying very basic, but often
unfulfilled, human needs
Outcomes Produces a degree of predictability and order
and has the potential to produce consistently
major results expected by various stakeholders
(for example, for customers, always being on
time; or, for stockholders, being on budget)
Produces change, often to a dramatic
degree, and has the potential to produce
extremely useful change (for example,
new products that customers want, or
new approaches to labor relations that
help make a firm more competitive)

Legitimate power
Coercive power
Referent power Expert power
Reward power
Types of
Power
7. Leadership and Power
Power is the ability to affect the behavior of others.
Legitimate poweris granted through the organizational
hierarchy.
Reward power is the power to give or withhold rewards.
Coercive power is the capability to force compliance by
means of psychological, emotional, or physical threat.
Referent poweris the personal power that accrues to
someone based on identification, imitation, loyalty, or charisma.
Expert poweris derived from the possession of information or
expertise.
20–

9. Using Power
Legitimate Request
A subordinate’s compliance with a manager’s request because
the organization has given the manager the right to make the
request.
Instrumental Compliance
A subordinate complies with a manager’s request to get the
rewards that the manager controls.
Coercion
Threatening to fire, punish, or reprimand subordinates if they do
not do something.
20–
9
10. Using Power (cont’d)
Rational Persuasion
Convincing subordinates compliance is in their best interest.
Personal Identification
Using the superior’s referent power to shape a subordinate’s
behavior.
Inspirational Appeal
Influencing a subordinate’s behavior through an appeal to a set of
higher ideals or values (e.g., loyalty).
Information Distortion
Withholding or distorting information (which may create an
unethical situation) to influence subordinates’ behavior.
20–

11. Generic Approaches to
Leadership
LeadershipTraits Approach
Assumed that a basic set of personal traits that
differentiated leaders from nonleaders could be
used to identify leaders and as a tool for
predicting who would become leaders.
Was not unable to establish empirical
relationships between traits and persons regarded
as leaders.
20–

13. Leadership Behaviors
Michigan Studies (Rensis Likert)
Identified two forms of leader behavior:
Job-centered leader behavior
Employee-centered leader behavior
These two forms of leader behaviors were
considered to be at opposite ends of the same
continuum and similar to (respectively) Likert’s
System 1 and System 4 of organization design.
20–
13
14. Leadership Behaviors
(cont’d)
Ohio State Studies
Did not interpret leader behavior as being one-
dimensional as did the Michigan State studies.
Initial research assumption: leaders who exhibit
high levels of both behaviors would be most
effective leaders.
Identified two basic leadership styles that can be
exhibited independently and simultaneously:
Initiating-structure behavior
Consideration behavior
20–
14
15. Leadership Behaviors
(cont’d)
Ohio State Studies (cont’d)
Subsequent research indicated that:
Employees of supervisors ranked high on initiating
structure were high performers, but had low levels
of satisfaction and had higher absenteeism.
Employees of supervisors ranked high on
consideration had low- performance ratings, but had
high levels of satisfaction and had less absenteeism.
Other situational variables make consistent leader
behavior predictions difficult.
20–
15
16. Situational Approaches to
Leadership
Situational Models of Leader Behavior
Assume that:
Appropriate leader behavior depends on the situation.
Situational factors that determine appropriate leader
behavior can be identified.
Situational LeadershipTheories:
Leadership behavior continuum
Least preferred coworker theory
Path-goal theory
Decision tree approach
Leader-member exchange approach
20–
16
17. Situational Approaches to
Leadership
Leadership Continuum
(Tannenbaum and Schmidt)
Continuum identifies a range of levels of leadership
from boss-centered to subordinate-centered
leadership
Variables influencing the decision-making continuum:
Leader’s characteristics
Subordinates’ characteristics
Situational characteristics
20–
17
19. Situational Approaches…
(cont’d)
Least Preferred Coworker (LPC)Theory (Fiedler)
Assumed that leadership style is fixed and situation must be
changed to favor the leader.
Appropriate leadership style varies with situational favorableness
(from the leader’s viewpoint).
LPC scale asks leaders to describe the person with whom they are
least able to work well.
High scale scores indicate a relationship orientation; low scores
indicate a task orientation on the part of the leader.
Situational favorableness is determined by:
Quality of leader-member relations
Degree to which the structure of the group’s task is defined
Position power of the leader
20–
19
21. Situational Approaches…
(cont’d)
Path-GoalTheory (Evans and House)
The primary functions of a leader are:
To make valued or desired rewards available
in the workplace
To clarify for the subordinate the kinds of behavior
that will lead to goal accomplishment or rewards
Leader Behaviors:
Directive leader behavior
Supportive leader behavior
Participative leader behavior
Achievement-oriented leader behavior
20–
21
22. The Path-Goal Theory
Situational Factors:
20–
22
Work Situation Leadership Style Impact on Followers Expected Results
Follower lacks
self-confidence
Supportive Increases self-
confidence to complete
task
Increased effort. job
satisfaction, and
performance; fewer
grievances
Lack of job
challenge
Achievement-
oriented
Encourages setting high
but attainable goals
Improved performance
and greater job
satisfaction
Improper
procedures and
poor decisions
Participative Clarifies follower need
for making suggestions
and involvement
Improved performance
and greater satisfaction;
less turnover
Ambiguous job Directive Clarifies path to get
rewards
Improved performance
and job satisfaction
24. Situational Approaches…
(cont’d)
Vroom’s DecisionTree Approach
Attempts to prescribe a leadership style appropriate
to a given situation.
Basic premises:
Subordinate participation in decision making depends on
the characteristics of the situation.
No one decision-making process is best for all situations.
After evaluating problem attributes, a leader chooses a
path on the decision trees that determines the decision
style and specifies the amount of employee
participation.
Decision significance
Decision timeliness
20–
24
26. Situational Approaches
(cont’d)
The Leader-Member Exchange (LMX)
Approach
Stresses the importance of variable relationships
between supervisors and each of their
subordinates.
Vertical dyads
Leaders form unique independent relationships with
each subordinate (dyads) in which the subordinate
becomes a member of the leader’s out-group or in-
group.
20–

28. Related Approaches to
Leadership
Substitutes for Leadership
A concept that identifies situations in which leader
behavior is neutralized or replaced by
characteristics of subordinates, the task, and the
organization.

Subordinates
Ability
Experience
Need for independence
Professional orientation
Indifference towards
organizational goals
Task
Routineness
The availability of feedback

Characteristics that Substitute for Leadership
29. Charismatic Leadership
(House)
Charisma
Is an interpersonal attraction that inspires support
and acceptance
Is an individual characteristic of a leader.
Charismatic persons are more successful than
non-charismatic persons.
Charismatic leaders are:
Self-confident
Have a firm conviction in their belief and ideals
Possess a strong need to influence people
20–

30. Related Approaches… (cont’d)
Charismatic Leadership (cont’d)
Charismatic leaders in organizations
must be able to:
envision the future, set high
expectations, and model behaviors
consistent with expectations.
energize others through a
demonstration of excitement,
personal confidence, and patterns of
success.
enable others by supporting them, by
empathizing with them, and by
expressing confidence in them.

Common Political
Behaviors
35. Managing Political Behavior
Be aware that even if actions are not politically motivated, others
may assume that they are.
Provide subordinates with autonomy, responsibility, challenge, and
feedback to reduce the likelihood of political behavior on their part.
Avoid using power to avoid charges of political motivation.
Get disagreements and conflicts out in the open so that
subordinates have less opportunity to engage in political behavior.
Avoid covert behaviors that give the impression of political intent
even if none exists.
Clearly communicate the bases and processes for performance
evaluation.
Tie rewards directly to performance
Minimize competition among managers for resources.
