    Introduction

    • Leaders influence the perception, motivation,


    communication, personality and the overall behavior of
    people

    • Stogdill (1950) defined leadership as, “the process (act)


    of influencing the activities of an organized group in its
    efforts toward goal setting and goal achievement.”

    • Drucker (1996) summarized the ideas on leadership in


    one sentence, “the only definition of a leader is
    someone that has followers”.

    Leadership Styles
    1. Autocratic or Authoritarian Leadership Style:
    An autocratic leadership is centered around the leader.
    The decisions made by the leader do not have any inputs
    from the team members. The authority and decision
    making powers are concentrated with the leader and
    there is no participation in decision making by the
    members of the team.
    2. Democratic Leadership/ Participative management:
    Leaders following this style believe in consulting all team
    members and make the management participative.
    Work and tasks are allotted to members looking at their
    strengths, availability and consent to take it up.
    This style helps the team members develop a confidence
    and prepares them to take up greater responsibilities in
    course of their work.
    Leadership Styles
    • A democratic or participative leadership is appropriate when:
    • a. The Vision, Mission, Goals and Strategic plan of the organization
    are clearly communicated to all the employees of the organization.
    • b. When rewards and employee engagement are central theme of
    performance management.
    • c. Where every team member is given an opportunity to present
    their ideas and feasible ideas are accepted no matter what the
    designation of the ideator is.
    • d. When team members are experienced enough to take their
    decisions.

    3. Free – Rein or Laissez Faire Leadership Style:


    Laissez Faire is sometimes described as “no leadership” because a
    direct leadership is not visible. Under this style; the authority of
    taking decisions for a particular area is delegated to a particular
    team member and this team member is accountable for the
    consequences of these decisions.
    Leadership Styles

    The Free – Rein or Laissez Faire leadership style is effective


    when:
    1. When employees of the organization are engaged on a high
    level and are willing to take challenging tasks.
    2. When the leaders are open to the idea of delegating not
    only tasks but also decisions.
    3. When the employees are trained and confident of taking
    effective decisions.
    4. When team members are used to being independent and do
    not like being frequently instructed.
    Leadership Styles

    4. Bureaucratic Leadership
    This is a style often found in government offices and is
    defined by high degree of rules, regulations and minimum
    degree of flexibility. The leadership is more of administration
    and is categorized by routine actions.
    5. Charismatic Leadership:
    Charismatic leaders are leaders who inspire the team by their
    charm and energy.
    Charismatic leaders have very good oratory skills and an
    ideological vision which they have an ability to translate into
    goals for the team.
    They have the ability to drive the team towards its target.
    They have a great rapport with people because of their
    interpersonal skills.
