Leadership skills
1. Communication
As a leader, you need to be able to clearly
explain to your employees everything from
organization goals to specific tasks. Leaders
must master all forms of communication,
including one-in-one, departmental and full-
staff conversations, as well as
communication via the phone, email and
social media.
 Active listening
 Business story telling
 Clarity
 Concision
 Editing
  Explaining
 Verbal communication
 Written communication.

2. Commitment
It is important for leaders to follow through
with what they agree to do. You should be
willing to put in the extra hours to complete
an assignment; employees will see this
commitment and follow your example.
Similarly, when you promise your staff a
reward, such as an office party, you should
always follow through. A leader cannot
expect employees to commit to their jobs
and their tasks if he or she cannot do the
same. Some skills related to commitment in
the workplace include:

whatever changes come their way. Employees
will appreciate your ability to accept changes in
stride and creatively problem solve.
Similarly, leaders must be open to suggestions
and feedback. If your staff is dissatisfied with an
aspect the office environment, listen to their
concern and be open to making necessary
changes. Employees will appreciate a leader’s
ability to accept appropriate feedback. Skills
related to flexibility include:
 Ability to learn new skills
 Ability to respond to new problems or issues
 Adaptability
 Improvising
 Negotiating
 Open to feedback
 Recognizing individuals’ strengths and skills
 Treating employees as individuals

4. Explain theories of 10min THEORIES: Lecture method PPT Explain the

leadership theories of
 TRAIT THEORY/GREAT MAN THEORY leadership

This theory suggests that leaders have some

inborn traits. They have certain set of
characteristics that are crucial for inspiring
others towards a common goal. A successful
leader is supposed to have the following
traits- good personality, tirelessness.
Capacity to read other’s mind, ability to
make quick decision, courage, persuasion,
intelligence, reliability, imagination.
The Trait Approach arose from the “Great
Man” theory as a way of identifying the key
characteristics of successful leaders. It was
believed that through this theory critical
leadership traits could be isolated and that
people with such traits could then be
recruited, selected, and installed into
 leadership positions. This theory was
common in the military and is still used as a
set of criteria to select candidates for
commissions.
Trait Theories of Leadership

Ambition and Energy Desire to Lead

Honesty and Integrity Self Confidence

Job Relevant Knowledge

Intelligence
Advantages of Trait Theory
 It is naturally pleasing theory.
 It serves as a yardstick against which the
leadership traits of an individual can be
assessed.
 It gives a detailed knowledge and
understanding of the leader element in the
leadership process.
Limitations of The Trait Theory
There is bound to be some subjective
judgment in determining who is regarded as
a ‘good’ or ‘successful’ leader. There is also a
disagreement over which traits are the most
important for an effective leader.
 STYLE THEORY
This focuses on what leaders do in relational
and contextual terms. The achievement of
satisfactory performance measures requires
supervisors to pursue effective relationships
with their subordinates, while
comprehending the factors in the work
environment that influence outcomes.
 TRANSACTIONAL/
TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY
This theory describes the relationship
between leaders and followers. New
concepts such as empowerment, inspiration
motivation and social learning are present.
This refers to a process whereby the leader
attends to the needs and motives of
followers so that interaction raises to high
levels of motivation and morality.
 SITUATIONAL THEORY
This theory believes that leadership
depended on the relationship among the
leaders task at hand, their interpersonal skills
and the favourableness the work situation.
This theory considers the challenge of
situation and encourages an adaptive
leadership style to complement the issue
being faced.
 CONTINGENCY THEORIES
Contingency theories of leadership focus on
variables related to the environment that
might determine which style of leadership is
best suited for the situation. According to
this theory, no leadership style is best in all
situations. Success depends upon several
variables, including the leadership style,
qualities of the followers and aspects of the
situation.
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.
Different Sets/theories of contingency
theory
 Fiedler’s Contingency Model
 Harsey & Blanchard’s Situational Theory
 Path Goal Theory
 Vroom-Jago Contingency Model
 BEHAVIORAL THEORIES
Behavioral theories of leadership are based
upon the belief that great leaders are made,
not born. Rooted in behaviourism, this
leadership theory focuses on the action of
leaders not on mental qualities or internal
states. According to this theory people cal
learn to become leaders through teaching
and observation.
 PARTICIPATIVE THEORIES
Participative leadership theories suggest that
the ideal leadership style is one that take the
input others into account. These leaders
encourage participation and contribution
from group members and help group
member feel more relevant and committed
to the decision- making process. In
participative theories, however, the leader
retains the right to allow the input of
leaders.
