raLEADERSHIP AND VISION
Leaders must have vision. They share a dream and direction that other people want to share and follow.
Leadership vision goes beyond your written organizational mission statement and your vision statement
For leaders vision is not just a dream, it is a reality that has yet to come into existence. It gives a leader purpose, his devotion to inspire others.

LEADERSHIP TRAIT
Trait – personal qualities and characteristics There are certain personal qualities and
characteristics which are essential to be a successful leader
Based on these traits or qualities, some philosophers say, leaders are born and not made
This approach regarded as one of the earliest approaches to leadership and termed as Trait Approach or Trait Theory
Trait approach involves analyzing personal, physiological and physical traits of strong leaders
vika

Traits might include: Intelligence Assertiveness Above average height Good vocabulary Attractiveness Self confidence Integrity- do what you say, don’t compromise
for temptations like money, greediness etc Creativity to solve problems Initiative

CRITICISM FOR TRAIT APPROACH
Leaders are both born and made
Leadership qualities can be developed
Can’t recognize that one successful leader has got these many traits
Based on the situation or conditions traits may vary, or leaders may tend to show varied traits

CLASSIC LEADERSHIP STYLES
Behavioural pattern which a leader shows while influencing followers is termed as leadership style
Based on the degree of use of power, 3 styles can be identified;
Autocratic/ Authoritarian/ Directive Style
Participative/Democratic/Consultative Style
Laissez Faire/Free Rein Style

rests with leader Leader exercises close supervision over
followers and uses rewards and punishment to influence followers behaviourMerits Demerits

LAISSEZ FAIRE/FREE REIN STYLE
Leader does not lead and avoids power Complete freedom is given to followers Decision making power rests with followers Leaders may give advice if followers need
any help No control over followers
Demerits: Lack of control and discipline Fails if followers are not matured May lead to confusion, chaos
vika

LEADERS BEHAVIOUR
After the trait approach, thinkers to overcome limitations of the trait approach, started focusing on understanding leaders behaviour.
Instead of studying what leaders have, what are their qualities. Thinkers focused on how they behave and behaviour patterns in situations.
Under this approach we have to study:
Likert’s Four Systems and Managerial Grid

LIKERT’S FOUR SYSTEMS
Likert and his associates of the University of Michigan, USA, have conducted studies on Leadership styles and patterns in number of organizations
Likert developed 4 systems/models known as Systems of Management
These systems have been developed based on the 6 elements which are related to management process;
vika

raCharacteristics System 1 System 2 System 3 System 4
Exploitative Authoritative Style
Benevolent Authoritative Style
Consultative Authoritative Style
Democratic Participative style
Trust in subordinates None To some extent
Substantial, justifiable
Complete trust on subordinates
Motivation Fear and threatRewards and punishment
Rewards, punishment and involvement
Group participation and involvement
CommunicationVery limited and downward Limited
Fairly widespread ans sometimes upward
Widespread and both downward and upward
Personal Interaction/knowing people Very limited Limited Moderate Intensive
Decision making Centralized Mostly centralized
Some participation is allowed
Fully participative method
Type of control Centralized Mostly centralizedModerate delegation
Extensive delegation

EXPLOITATIVE AUTHORITATIVE STYLE Management uses fear and threats;
communication is top down with most decisions taken at the top; superiors and subordinates are distant.
BENEVOLENT AUTHORITATIVE STYLE Management uses rewards; information
flowing upward is restricted to what management wants to hear and whilst policy decisions come from the top some prescribed decisions may be delegated to lower levels, superiors expect subservience lower down.
vika
s vadaka
raCONSULTATIVE AUTHORITATIVE STYLE Management offers rewards, occasional
punishments; big decisions come from the top whilst there is some wider decision making involvement in details and communication is downward whilst critical upward communication is cautious.
DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATIVE STYLE Management encourage group participation
and involvement in setting high performance goals with some economic rewards; communication flows in all directions and is open and frank with decision making through group processes with each group linked to others by persons who are members of more than one group called linking pins; and subordinates and superiors are close. The result is high productivity and better industrial relations

CONCLUSION
System 1 is very poorSystem 4 is the ideal style, and
an organization can adopt it.

raMANAGERIAL GRID Developed by Robert Blake and Jane Mouton,
psychologists at the University of Texas Used a chart called Managerial Grid to
describe leaders style. They identified 5 styles and used the terms
concern for people and concern for production
These 2 dimensions are plotted on a 9 point scale on 2 separate axis.
Concern for people is shown on vertical axis, concern for production is shown on horizontal axis.
Managerial Grid: A grid of two leadership behaviours – concern for people and concern for production – which resulted in 5 different leadership styles.

LEADERSHIP STYLES IN MANAGERIAL GRID
1. Task Management or Authority Compliance [9,1]:Management shows maximum concern for production and least concern for people
2. Country Club Management [1,9]Reverse of task management, where management shows more concern for people and least concern for production
3. Impoverished Management [1,1]Management shows least concern for both production and people. Leader thinks that minimum effort is sufficient to get the work done and won’t focuses on followers and results.

CONTD…
4. Team Management [9,9]Shows concern for both people and production. Focuses on synergy concept 1+1 = 3. Through committed people work accomplishment. Focus on people task related morale.
5. Middle of the Road Style [5,5]Management shows a balanced concern for people and production. Neither too much production is expected, nor too much concern for people is expressed.
vika

ra
CONCLUSION
According to Blake and Mouton, Team Management [9,9] is the ideal one. Because here results are achieved through focusing on people. High concern for both will be seen. This can be achieved based on active participation
But there is no one best leadership style under all conditions. So leaders have to select the style based on the situations and followers.

OVERLAPPING ROLES OF LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
Leadership is an important element in an organization as it plays a role of creating and shaping organizational culture and setting a direction for the progress of the organization. Without this management has no role or cause for existence
Management on the other hand, through systematic arrangements and processes, gives way for effective leadership development at every level in the organization
When an executive is doing planning, organizing, controlling he is managing, when he is guiding, motivating and influencing others behaviour, he is leading
vika
s vadaka
ra
CONTD..
Leadership is a function of looking, thinking and bringing change in the organization.
Management is a function of ensuring order and consistency in the organization
Leadership and management are inseparable aspects of an organization.
The effectiveness of one is dependent on the effective performance of the other.

Communication means exchange of ideas, facts, opinion, information and understanding between two or more persons

MOTIVATION, REWARDS, PERFORMANCEMOTIVATION:
Every organization must Attract competent people and retain them
with it Allow people to perform task for which they
are hired Stimulate people to go beyond themselves in
their work
Thus if an organization wants to be effective, it has to address the challenges involved in influencing people behaviour or their desires.
vika

ra
Basic principle is that: performance of an individual depends on his or her ability backed by motivation
So Performance = f [ ability x motivation] Ability : refers to skill and competence of the
person to complete the task Motivation : is the persons desire to complete
the task
Organization becomes successful when a person has both ability or skill and desire to complete the task

IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
A challenging element in an organization:
Individual performance is generally determined by 3 things; Work environment [resources needed to do the job], Ability [capability/ skills to do the job] and motivation [desire to do the job].
If an employee faces resources problem, manager can provide it, if he lacks ability, manager can train him, but if motivation is the problem, manager’s task will become more challenging.
That’s what we say, motivation is a challenging task in an organization.

MOTIVATIONAL THEORIESMASLOW'S NEED HIERARCHY THEORY Abraham Maslow, a human relationist
developed this theory Maslow argued that people are
motivated to satisfy 5 need levels These 5 need levels constitute a
hierarchy An individual is motivated first to
satisfy his/ her basic needs Once he is satisfied with basic needs,
he will move to next need level This process continues till he reaches
the self actualization level

MASLOW’S NEED HIERARCHY
vika

MERITS
Theory presents motivation as a constantly changing force
Simple to understand
DEMERITS
People from different countries or background have different hierarchy of needs
Hierarchy of needs does not exist in the same order. Example: person satisfying his esteem needs can not forget to satisfy his basic need i.e., food
This is not a theory of work motivation. Maslow himself is not intended to relate these needs to work place

HERZBERG’S TWO FACTOR THEORY / TWO FACTORY THEORY OF MOTIVATION Herzberg developed the two factor theory by
interviewing 200 accountants and engineers He asked them about two occasions: When they felt extremely good or when they had
been satisfied or motivated about their job When they felt extremely bad or when they had
been dissatisfied or demotivated about their job Surprisingly he found that, the absence of certain
job factors tend to make workers dissatisfaction. But the presence of these factors does not produce high level of motivation. They merely help to avoid dissatisfaction
vika

ra
CONTD…
Example: a person might identify “ low pay” as a dissatisfaction factor. But he would not necessarily mention “high pay” as a cause of satisfaction. Instead factors like recognition, rewards etc were cited as motivational or satisfaction factors
Herzberg called the factors influencing the satisfaction level of employees as Motivation factors
Factors which cause dissatisfaction as Hygiene or Maintenance Factors.
vika
s vadaka
raCONTD… The two factor theory suggests that peoples’
satisfaction and dissatisfaction are influenced by two independent sets of factors – motivation factors and hygiene/ maintenance factors
