SOME LEADERSHIP STYLES

IMPOVERISHED STYLE( low people low task) here the leader has both a low concern for people and a low concern for the task. Those who would adopt this approach are typically "leader" who care mainly about themselves and are afraid of making mistakes.

PRODUCE OR PERISH STYLE (low people high task) be see which focus on the task with little on concern for people this style is after referred to as autocratic leader using

This style seek to control and dominate other a leader like this will commonly take the view that stuff should be grateful to employed and pad a salary motivation is after attempted through of punishment such as being fired which makes this dictatorial style . However the approach is not sustainable especially when follower's have the option to walk away.

MIDDLE ROAD STYLE (Mid people mid task) this is essentially an ineffective compromise. Some concern for task exist and equally for the people but it might be said that is not enough of either. Leaders adopting this behavioural methods try to address the needs of the task and that of their followers to some extent but do so without conviction,skill and insight. Which reduce their effectiveness.Leadership generally requires a good degree of authority and decisiveness so a style that lack these characteristics has much room for improvement.

TEAM STYLE( High people, high task)
This style combines a high concern for and involvement in they group with a string well organized and communicated focus on achieving the two .

Leaders who behave like this manage to blend concern for both people and organizational aims by using a collaborative teamwork approach. This involves considerable dialogue that enable the development of a shared ( not imposed) motivation to achieving the organizations goal.
To an extent the effectiveness of a Leader depends on whether his or her followers accepts or reject him or her as well as on the extent to which the followers have the ability and willingness to accomplish a specific task.
The key words are acceptance and readiness.

FOUR GROUP LEADERS INTO 4 STYLES OF LEADERSHIP

1. Leadership
2. Supporting.
3. Coaching.
4. Directing

Their theory assumes that each of these leadership styles can be effective, depending on the development level of the individual or people you are leading.

DIRECTING
The directing or telling leadership style is what they should be doing ( one - way communication).

📌 What to do
📌How to do it
📌Where to do it
📌When to do it

The giving of direction is followed by closely supervising performance.

COACHING
Coaching also called "Selling involves directly people but in a more supportive way. The leader now attempt to share the suggestions,ideas and opinions of his or her followers which translate to or two way communication. However the control of decision making remains with the leader.

DELEGATING
Delegating requires minimal direction and supervision. The leader enables by discussing problems with the followers and coming to agreement on the nature of the problem and decision making for addressing the problem is handled by the subordinates on their own show.

Good leaders according to Hersey and Blanchard must adapt their leadership style to the maturity and Willingness of their subordinate. This creates a new level a new of complexity for leaders, how thoroughly the willingness, motivations and abilities of the followers are considered can decide how successfully they will be led.

If you want to rob employees of their pride of workmanship,ask them to do something they cannot do.

Employees with some level of competence but a lack level of commitment, they won't be able to do the job without help.

Generally, those who have a high level of commitment will be eager to learn and be willing to takes direction. As employees grow in confidence and capability, top management may only have to observe performance and reinforce the positive.

WHAT IS YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE

A leadership style reflect a distinctive behavior.

A style tends to contain what a particular leader has learnt from other leaders that severed as a role models and his style is influenced strongly by this experience.

The leadership style is affected by the purpose or goal of the leaders. Another influence which is often quite strong is the particular personality of the leader and the personality or capability of the followers or group being led .

AUTHORITARIAN VRS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

The two ends of the spectrum of leadership style range a focus on implementing specific task to a focus on the dynamics of human relationship.

Leaders who focus primary on getting specific task accomplished can be described as authoritarian leaders. whilst those who stress the development on interpersonal relationship may be viewed on democratic leaders.

Some leaders are able to incorporate both styles of leadership behavior depending upon which is appropriate to the situation. Leaders develop their primary style over time focus experience, education and training.

THE AUTHORITARIAN LEADER is all about control and managing the completion of tasks. Authoritarian leader often approach a situation with attitude that other people are innately unwilling to get involved and are basically unreliable.

They tend to use their power to dominant their followers. Most policies are determined by the leader. Decision making for the authoritarian leader is usually autocratic which means no input from others until after the decision is made. This after result in the lack of creative solutions to problems which can hurt the performance of the organization.

The authoritarian leader in an organization will tend to spend more time on management issues than on interpersonal relationship.

A danger in authoritarian leadership is the tendency toward negative motivation using threats, coercion and other non - reinforcing means to achieve result. This can erect a culture of crisis in the organization with the leader as either oppressor or rescuer or both.

THE DEMOCRATIC STYLE

The democratic style is at the other end of leadership spectrum. It assumes that the power of leader is granted by the group they are to lead and that people are basically self directed and creative. If they are motivated to do so. The democratic style of leadership therefore tends to be more participative. Policies evolve from group discussion and from a group decision making process. By sharing decision making and other responsibilities, the group is more likely to make full use of all the potential of its members and individual self esteem tends to increase. Furthermore the more that members participate in making the decision that affect them, have a clear picture of the goals of the group and have a recognized part to play in helping the group reach those goals.

The value of a cooperative efforts should not be minimized. Many management expert believe the wave of the future in management and leadership is individual empowerment, which recognize the abilities individuals posses and what they can and will do when involved with stand leadership an increased sense of ownership of plans and ideas.
