path-goal approach of leadership
manager identifies the ‘goals’ and rewards the ‘paths’ to be take, to reach them
In this process an effective leader:
• Identifies and communicates to subordinates the path they
follow in order to achieve personal and organizational
objectives.
• Helps subordinates along the chosen path.
• Helps to remove obstacles on the path that might prevent the
achievement of these objectives.
participatory approach of leadership
there are 5 leadership styles according to vroom and yetton in decision-making
process:
• Autocratic I (AI)-managers solve the problem or make the decisions themselves,
using the available information.
• Autocratic II (AII)-managers obtain information from subordinates before making
the decisions themselves.
• Consultative I (CI)-managers share the problem with the relevant subordinates
individually and obtain their ideas and information and then make the decisions
themselves.
• Consultative II (CII)-managers share the problem with the relevant subordinates
as a group and obtain their ideas and information and then make the decisions
themselves.
• Group Participation (G)-managers share the problem with subordinates as a
group and together analyze the problem and consider the alternative solutions.
charismatic and transformational
leadership
charismatic leaders are able through their personal vision and energy inspire
follower and have major impact on an organization.
• Anticipatory skills
• Vision skills
• Value skills
• Empowerment skills
• Self-understanding skills
“more leaders have been made by accidental circumstances, sheer grit, or
will, than have been made by all the leadership courses together”.
the power of leaders
• Coercive Power – the main consideration in a general discussion on
the object, fear of leader, punishment, threats-autocratic leadership
• Expert Power – expertise, knowledgeable, recognition
• Legitimate Power – hierarchy of the organization, the more senior the
manager is, the more power has.
• Referent Power - charismatic
• Reward Power – ability to provide rewards for the followers, as pay,
promotion and recognition.
• Connection Power – relationship with influential partners (inside &
outside).
• Information Power – access to valuable information.
