22. Contingency approaches approaches
● Definition: It is a model of leadership that
describes the relationship between leadership
styles and specific organizational situations.
● The contingency leadership approaches focus
on the leaders’ style, the subordinates’ nature,
and the situation’s characteristics.
23. 1. Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Theory
● Hersey and Blanchard approach focuses a great deal of
attention on the characteristics of employees in
determining appropriate leader ship behavior .
● The point is that subordinates vary in readiness level.
People low in task readiness—because of little ability or
training or insecurity—need a different leadership style
than those who are high in readiness and have good
ability, skills, confidence, and willingness to work.
25. ● 1. The telling style is highly directive style,
specific, give instructions and tell people
exactly what to do, how to do it, and when.
Use when followers are low in readiness.(unable,
unwilling and not confident)
26. ● 2. The selling style is based on a high
concern for both people and tasks. With this
approach, the leader not only give direction
but also includes seeking input from others
and clarifying tasks rather than simply
instructing.
Use when followers are somewhat moderate
in readiness (unable, willing but not confident).
27. ● 3. The participating style, shares ideas with
subordinates, gives them a chance to
participate, and facilitates decision making.
● the leader can guide followers’
development and act as a resource for
advice and assistance.
Use when followers are moderate in readiness (able,
not willing and confident)
28. ● 4. The delegating style provides little direction
and little support because the leader turns over
responsibility for decisions and their
implementation to subordinates who have the
skills, abilities, and positive attitudes to follow
through.
Use when followers are high in readiness (able, willing
and confident)
29. ● This bell-shaped curve
is called a prescriptive
curve because it
indicates when each
leader style should be
used.
● The readiness level of
followers is indicated
in the lower part.
● R1 is low readiness
and R4 represents
high readiness.
30. 2. Fiedler’s Contingency Theory
● The basic idea for this theory : match the
leaders style with situation most favorable for
his or her success, by diagnosing leadership
style and organization situation ,the correct fit
can be arranged .
● There is two important elements:
1. Leadership style
2. Situation favorability
31. ● Situation would be considered highly
favorable to the leader when leader-
member relationships are positive, tasks are
highly structured, and the leader has formal
authority over followers.
● Situation would be considered highly
unfavorable to the leader when leader-
member relationships are poor, tasks are
highly unstructured, and the leader has
little formal authority.
32. Matching Leader Style to the Situation
● Fiedler examined the relationships among
leadership style and situational favorability, and
he found this pattern.
33. 2. Fiedler’s Contingency Theory
● The favorability of a leadership situation
can be analyzed in terms of three elements:
1. The quality of relationships between leader and
followers.
2. The degree of task structure.
3. The extent to which the leader has formal authority
over followers.
34. 3. Substitutes for Leadership
● This approach outlines those organizational
settings in which a leadership style is
unimportant or unnecessary.
● A substitute for leadership makes the leadership
style unnecessary or redundant. For example, highly
professional subordinates who know how to do their tasks do not need a
leader who initiates structure for them and tells them what to do.
● A neutralizer counteracts the leadership style
and prevents the leader from displaying certain
behaviors. For example, if a leader has absolutely no position power
or is physically removed from subordinates, the leader’s ability to give
directions to subordinates is greatly reduced.
35. ● A leader, need to know two thing in
order to use Fiedler’s contingency.
1. The leader should know Whether he or she has
a relationship or task-oriented style.
2. The leader should diagnose the situation and
determine whether leader member relations ,task
structure and position power are favorable or
unfavorable.
36.
37. CHARISMATIC AND
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
● Two types of leadership that can have a
substantial impact are: charismatic and
transformational.
● These types of leadership are best understood in
comparison to transactional leadership.
38. Charismatic and Visionary Leadership
● Charisma has been referred to as “a fire that ignites
followers’ energy and commitment, producing results
above and beyond the call of duty.”
● The charismatic leader has the ability to inspire and
motivate people to do more than they would normally do,
despite obstacles and personal sacrifice.
● Followers are willing to put aside their own interests for the
sake of the team, department, or organization.
39. Charismatic and Visionary Leadership
● Charismatic leaders typically have a strong vision (which is
an attractive, ideal future that is credible yet not readily
attainable) for the future, almost an obsession, and they can
motivate others to help realize it.
● These leaders have an emotional impact on subordinates
because they strongly believe in the vision and can
communicate it to others in a way that makes the vision
real, personal, and meaningful to others.
40. Charismatic and Visionary Leadership
● The impact of charismatic leaders is normally from:
(1) stating a lofty vision of an imagined future that employees
identify with.
(2) displaying an ability to understand and empathize with followers.
(3) empowering and trusting subordinates to accomplish results.
● Charismatic leaders tend to be less predictable because
they create an atmosphere of change, and they may be
obsessed by visionary ideas that excite, stimulate, and drive
other people to work hard.

followers and the organization
44. POWER AND INFLUENCE
Both followers and leaders use power and influence to get
things done in organizations.
Power is the potential ability to influence the behavior of
others.
influence is the effect a person’s actions have on the attitudes,
values, beliefs, or behavior of others.
Whereas power is the capacity to cause a change in a person,
influence may be thought of as the degree of actual change.
Power results from an interaction of leader and followers. Some
power comes from an individual’s position in the organization.
Power may also come from personal sources, such as an
individual’s personal interests, goals, and values, as well as
from sources such as access to information or important
relationships.
45. Followership
● No discussion of leadership is complete without a
consideration of followership.
● Leadership matters, but without effective
followers no organization can survive.
● Leaders can develop an understanding of their
followers and how to help them be most
effective.
● Understanding differences in followers can
improve one’s effectiveness as both a follower
and a leader.

47. Followers as well as leaders can tap into a
variety of power sources.
• Position Power : The manager’s posi- tion gives him or her
the power to reward or punish subordinates to influence
their behavior. Legitimate power, reward power, and
coercive power are all forms of posi- tion power used by
managers to change employee behavior.
• Legitimate Power : Power coming from a formal
management position in an orga- nization and the authority
granted to it is called legitimate power. Once a person has
been selected as a supervisor, most employees understand
that they are obligated to follow his or her direction with
respect to work activities.
Subordinates accept this source of power as legitimate, which is
why they comply.
48. • Personal Power :
In contrast to the external sources of position power, personal
power most often comes from internal sources, such as an
individual’s special knowledge or personal characteristics.
Personal power is the primary tool of the leader, and it is
becom-ing increasingly important as more businesses are run
by teams of workers who are less tolerant of authoritarian
management.
.
49. • Reward power : stems from the authority to
bestow rewards on other people. Managers may
have access to formal rewards, such as pay
increases or promotions. They also have at their
disposal such rewards as praise, attention, and
recognition.
• Coercive Power :The opposite of reward power is
coercive power. It refers to the authority to punish
or recommend punishment. Managers have
coercive power when they have the right to fire or
demote employees, criticize, or withdraw pay
increases.
50. Two types of personal power are expert power
and referent power.
• Expert Power : Power resulting from a person’s special
knowledge or skill regarding the tasks being performed is referred
to as expert power. When someone is a true expert, others go
along with recommendations because of his or her superior
knowledge. Followers as well as leaders can possess expert
power.
• Referent power : comes from an individual’s personal
characteristics that command others’ identification, respect, and
admiration so they wish to emulate that individual.
Referent power does not depend on a formal title or position. When
employees admire a supervisor because of the way she deals with
them, the influence is based on referent power. Referent power is
most visible in the area of charismatic leadership.
51. Other Sources of Power
● Personal Effort People who show initiative, work beyond what
is expected of them, take on undesirable but important
projects, and show interest in learning about the organization
and industry often gain power as a result.
● Network of Relationships People who are enmeshed in a
network of relationships have greater power.
● Developing positive associations with superiors or other
powerful people is a good way to gain power, but people with
the greatest power are those who cultivate relationships with
individuals at all levels, both inside and outside the
organization.
● Information Information is a primary business resource, and
people who have access to information and control over how
and to whom it is distributed are typically powerful
52. Interpersonal Influence Tactics
The question is how leaders use their power to implement decisions
and facilitate change. Leaders often use a combination of influence
strategies, and people who
are perceived as having greater power and influence typically are
those who use awider variety of tactics.
1. Use rational persuasion.
2. Make people like you.
3. Rely on the rule of reciprocity.
4. Develop allies.
5. Be assertive—ask for what you want.
6. Make use of higher authority.
7. Reward the behaviors you want.
53. Leadership AS Service
Servant leaders transcend self-interest to serve others and
the organization.
They operate on two levels for the fulfillment of their
subordinates’ goals and needs and for the realization of the
larger purpose or mission of their organization.
Servant leaders give things away—power, ideas, information ,
recognition, credit for accom- plishments, even money.
They encourage par- ticipation, share power, enhance others’
self- worth, and unleash people’s creativity, full commitment ,and
natural impulse to learn and contribute.
Servant leaders can bring their followers’ higher motives to the
work and connect their hearts to the orga- nizational mission and
goals.
Servant leaders often work in the nonprofit world because it
offers a natural way to apply their leadership drive and skills to
serve others.
54. Moral leadership
is about distinguishing right from wrong and choosing to do right. Itmeans
seeking the just, the honest, the good, and the decent behavior in the
practice of leadership.
Moral leaders remember that business is about values, not just economic
performance.
Distinguishing the right thing to do is not always easy, and doing itis
sometimes even harder.
Leaders are often faced with right-versus-right decisions, in which several
responsibilities conflict with one another.
Commitment to superiors, for example, may mean a leader feels the need to
hide unpleasant news about pending layoffs from followers.
Moral leaders strive to find the moral answer or compromise, rather than
taking the easy way out.
Editor's Notes
What are the three words that your eyes sow first ?
Studies suggest that effective leaders may be high on consideration and low on initiating structure or low on consideration and high on initiating structure, depending on the situation.
The term 'situational' indicates that leaders should vary their approach based on the people they are leading, and the circumstances that surround the task at hand.
The essence of hersey and Blanchard situational theory is to select a leader style that appropriate for the readiness level of subordinates
relationship (concern for people) and task (concern for production) behavior.
The appropriate style depends on the readiness level of followers
To apply the Hersey and Blanchard model, the leader diagnoses the readiness level of followers and adopts the appropriate style—telling, selling, participating, or delegating.
Fiedler considered a person’s leadership style to be relatively fixed and difficult to change;
Task-oriented leaders are more effective when the situation is either highly favorable or highly unfavorable.
Relationship-oriented leaders are more effective in situations of moderate favorability.
Using the incorrect style can hurt morale and performance.
