Nogpo, Angela Arwin E.-LEADERSHIP

3. INTRODUCTION
Leadership is the ability to develop a vision
that motivates others to move with a
passion toward a common goal. So
leadership is a process by which a person
influences others to accomplish an objective
and directs the organization in a way that
makes it more cohesive and coherent.

4. Definitions:
“Leadership is the “process of social
influence in which one person can enlist
the aid and support of others in the
accomplishment of a common task.”
-M Chemers
“Leadership is ultimately about creating a
way for people to contribute to making
something extraordinary happen.”
-Alan Keith

5. “Leadership is organizing a group of people
to achieve a common goal.”
“Leadership is about influencing, motivating
and enabling others to contribute towards the
effectiveness and success of the organizations of
which they are members.”
- House, Javidan, dorfman.(2001)

7. • Leader -You must have an honest
understanding of who you are, what you
know and what you can do. To be
successful you have to convince your
followers not your superiors, that you are
worthy of being followed.
• Follower -You must know your people.
The fundamental starting point is having
a good understanding of human nature,
such as needs, emotions and motivation.

8. • Communication-The nonverbal com-
munication is leading. E.g.- when you set example
that communicates to your people that you would
not ask them to perform anything that you would
not be willing to do. Bad communication harm the
relation between leader and employee.
• Situation-We must use our judgment to decide
the best course of action and the leadership style
needed for each situation. What we do in one
situation will not always work in another.

9. Authoritarian or autocratic
Participative or democratic
Delegative or Free Reign

11.  Autocratic– The authoritarian leader makes decisions
alone as power is centralized in one person. Decisions
are enforced using rewards and the fear of punishment.
it is an abusive, unprofessional style called “bossing
people around.”
 Democratic- The participative leader include one or
more employees in the decision making process.
Communication flow freely; suggestions are made in
both directions. The participation encourages member
commitment to the final decision.
 Laissez-faire- The free-rein leader gives power to
subordinates to make the decisions. However, the leader
is still responsible for the decisions that are made. This is
used when employees are able to analyze the situation.
Deligative style is generally not useful.

follower.

goals.

16. In Contingency theory of leadership, the success of the
leader is a function of various contingencies in the
form of subordinate, task, and/or group variables.
The Leaders who are very effective at one place and
time may become unsuccessful either when
transplanted to another situation or when the factors
around them change.
This helps to explain how some leaders who seem for
a while to have the 'Midas touch' suddenly appear to
go off the boil and make very unsuccessful
decisions.
