    What Is Leadership?

     Leadership
    – The ability to influence a group
    toward the achievement of goals
     Management
    – Use of authority inherent in
    designated formal rank to obtain
    compliance from organizational
    members
     Both are necessary for
    organizational success

    1. Trait Theories of Leadership
     Theories that consider personality, social, physical, or
    intellectual traits to differentiate leaders from nonleaders
    (Personal Qualities & Characteristics)

     Big Five Personality Framework


     Essential Leadership Traits
    – Extroversion
    – Conscientiousness (achievement focused/dutifulness/commitment)
    – Emotional Intelligence (Qualified)
     Traits can predict leadership
    &

    2. Behavioral Theories of Leadership
     Theories proposing that specific behaviors differentiate
    leaders from non-leaders

     Differences between theories of leadership:

    – Trait theory: leadership is inherent, so we must


    identify/ Select the leader based on his or her
    traits
    – Behavioral theory: leadership is a skill set and can
    be taught to anyone/trained, so we must identify
    the proper behaviors to teach potential leaders

    3. Contingency Theories
     While trait and behavior theories do help us
    understand leadership, an important component
    (situational variable) is missing:

    The environment in which the leader exists

     Contingency Theory adds this additional aspect to our


    understanding leadership effectiveness studies

     Three key theories:


    – Fiedler’s Model
    – Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Theory
    – Path-Goal Theory

    i. Situational Leadership Theory
     A model that focuses on follower “readiness”

    – “Readiness” is the extent to which people (followers) have


    the ability and willingness to accomplish a specific task

    Ability to follow Willingness to Follow Leadership Behavior

    Unable Unwilling Give clear and specific directions

    Unable Willing Display high task orientation

    Able Unwilling Use a supportive and participatory


    style

    Trust and Leadership
     Trust – a psychological state that exists when you agree
    to make yourself vulnerable to another because you
    have a positive expectation for how things are going to
    turn out.
    – Key attribute associated with leadership
    – Followers who trust their leader will align their actions and
    attitudes with the leader’s behaviors/requests
