Leadership styles and Organizational employees

Leadership is a noteworthy topic under research since long time. In every single business
regardless of size managers and employees are interested in getting more than usual information
in order to become exceptional leaders in business world. There are different books and articles
where a lot has been posted regarding leadership its types and its influences on businesses,
employees, their performance and much more. Leadership plays a notable role in grooming
personality of employees thus helping them socially as well professionally to become market
leaders (Northhouse, 2010). Lead is basically defined as a to guide while leader is the one who
leads somebody or have influence over others decisions due to his power or authority with him.
Leader is basically a person in any business working at any certain position having a specific
power due to which he can make decisions and show directions to people he has command on.

Mills (2005) stated that leadership is basically a mode of action in which a person has the
authority to effect way of thinking and acting by thus motivating to agree with his concept and
way of thinking and acting. Leaders go for playing a notable role in a firm where they provide
their coworkers and team members a direction to move in thus providing them moral and
physical support. Leaders eventually with their words and thoughts motivate people working
under them and around them in that specific environment. When leader is missing in any team
the team members end up in conflicts among them, rude behaviors and no performance at all
while a leader pays attention to ideas and thinking of all the members thus keeping a balance and
completing task smoothly and happily with best performance. In a group of certain people there
are different minds with different thoughts and way of working. Leaders efficiently and
effectively pay attention to all the members’ thoughts and feelings and eventually motivate them
to work under same roof. Leaders have a certain quality of understanding things in way the
others simply can’t.

Leadership is not limited to an individual or any post as it basically is a specific quality within an
individual to take authority of other coworkers on basis of trust, emotion, efficiency,
performance and vision to achieve goals efficiently and effectively as per the requirements. In
leadership a single individual goes for setting certain standards and gives direction in order to
complete the obligations and assigned tasks on their specified time. It has been stated that
nowadays there can’t be simply specified a single best style of leadership as the way of leading
different people under different circumstances varies thus leading to different influences so a single
style cannot be used everywhere to lead people under their command. Leadership style specified to a
certain task is beneficial only in those conditions favorable to the leaders as a specified leadership
style in unfavorable condition will lead to noteworthy influence on leader and his team.

Charismatic leaders are those who have specifically great influence on the people under them
and those who admire them as they are having highly exceptional inspirational and speaking
powers in order to deliver their thoughts, beliefs and thinking to motivate and influence the other
people. Leaders tend to perform in a certain way in order to leave that as an example for the
people who eventually get influenced by their actions and thoughts. Similarly when a leader sets
a specific example or standard he eventually expects from his followers and admirers to act
accordingly in order to achieve their goals and targets efficiently.

Transformational leadership is basically a leadership style where the leader goes for performing
a certain act and expects employees and people working under him to act accordingly in order to
achieve certain goals and thus meet certain requirements and standards set by the leaders
(Doucet, et al., 2015).

Transactional leadership is basically related to achieving goals set by an organization by using a


stick in order to make obligatory timely achievement of goals and completion of certain tasks
(Bass, 1997). A leader using transactional styles makes sure that no matter what the task is done
on its specified time and sometimes rewards employees as well on task completion as their prime
focus is on goal achievement on time (Smith, et al., 2016).

Leaders using laissez fair style tend to go for avoiding decision making situations as they are
unable to make noteworthy decisions and neither they make decisions, nor motivate people and
never reward employees on achievement of goals. Such leadership style is considered to be rude
which eventually demotivates the employees will and zest to perform efficiently.

Problem Statement
Since long different studies had been conducted in order to get information about a better
leadership style suitable to all organizations but till today there are no perfect results. Majority of
the past research thinks that leadership is basically a power or authority with somebody to make
others work as per leader’s standard. Some researchers consider it as a tool to motivate others to
bring extraordinary results while few studies illustrated that leadership is basically a culture
related concept. So it is required to evaluate what leadership is basically and how organizational
employees see and consider it.

Objective of Study
Objective of this study is to evaluate employees concern towards leadership and its styles.
