Welcome.

 Leadership

Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective. ... whereby individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership knowledge and skills.

•  Every leader has charismatic power. 

What's a charismatic leader?

Charismatic leadership is the process of encouraging certain behaviours in others via force of personality, persuasion and eloquent communication. Charismatic leaders inspire their followers to do things or to do things better; this is done by conjuring up enthusiasm in others for a stated vision or goal.

Leadership styles.

• Autocratic

In this style of leadership, a leader has complete command and hold over their employees/team. The team cannot put forward their views even if they are best for the teams or organisational interests. They cannot criticise or question the leader’s way of getting things done. The leader himself gets the things done. The advantage of this style is that it leads to speedy decision-making and greater productivity under leader’s supervision. Drawbacks of this leadership style are that it leads to greater employee absenteeism and turnover. This leadership style works only when the leader is the best in performing or when the job is monotonous, unskilled and routine in nature or where the project is short-term and risky.

•  Bureaucratic

Here the leaders strictly adhere to the organisational rules and policies. Also, they make sure that the employees/team also strictly follows the rules and procedures. Promotions take place on the basis of employees’ ability to adhere to organisational rules. This leadership style gradually develops over time. This leadership style is more suitable when safe work conditions and quality are required. But this leadership style discourages creativity and does not make employees self-contented.

•  Democratic

 The leaders invite and encourage the team members to play an important role in the decision-making process, though the ultimate decision-making power rests with the leader. The leader guides the employees on what to perform and how to perform, while the employees communicate to the leader their experience and the suggestions if any. The advantages of this leadership style are that it leads to satisfied, motivated and more skilled employees. It leads to an optimistic work environment and also encourages creativity. This leadership style has the only drawback that it is time-consuming.

• Laissez Faire

Here, the leader totally trusts their employees/team to perform the job themselves. He just concentrates on the intellectual/rational aspect of his work and does not focus on the management aspect of his work. The team/employees are welcomed to share their views and provide suggestions which are best for organisational interests. This leadership style works only when the employees are skilled, loyal, experienced and intellectual.

MBO-Management By Object.

•  Task-oriented

Task-oriented leadership is a behavioural approach in which the leader focuses on the tasks that need to be performed in order to meet certain goals or to achieve a certain performance standard.

• Leader motivation

The starting point of motivational leadership is to begin seeing yourself as a role model, as an example to others. One key characteristic of leaders is that they set high standards of accountability for themselves and for their behaviours.
