and consistency
Leadership is the ability to influence a group toward the achievement of a vision or a set of goals.

Trait Theories
• Differentiate leaders from non-leaders by focusing on personal qualities and characteristics
• Extraversion related strongest to leadership• Conscientiousness and openness to experience
also strongly related to leadership• Traits can predict leadership• Traits are better at predicting leader emergence
than leader effectiveness

Behavioral Theories

• Researched the behaviors of specific leaders
• Provides the basis of design for training programs

Ohio State Studies

work relationships, and goals Consideration - concern for followers’ comfort,
well-being, status, and satisfaction

• Production-oriented - emphasize the technical or task aspects of the job
• Employee-oriented behavior leads to higher productivity and satisfaction

• Leader-Member Exchange Theory
• Path-goal Theory
11-9
Fiedler Leadership Model
• Effective group performance depends on the proper match between the leader’s style and the degree to which the situation gives control to the leader
• Least-preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire used to determine basic leadership style (assumes this style is fixed)
11-10
Fiedler Contingency Dimensions

11-13
Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory
• Leaders do differentiate among followers• Disparities are far from random• Followers with in-group status have:
higher performance ratings lower turnover intentions greater satisfaction with their superiors higher overall satisfaction than those in the
out-group
11-14
Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory
11-15
Path-Goal Theory
• Leader’s job is to provide followers with the information, support or other resources necessary for them to achieve their goals
• Four leadership behaviors: Directive leader Supportive leader Participative leader Achievement-oriented leader
11-16
Path-Goal Theory
11-17
Charismatic Leadership Theory
• Followers make attributions of heroic or extraordinary leadership abilities when they observe certain behaviors
11-18
Key Characteristics of Charismatic Leaders
11-19
How Charismatic Leaders Influence Followers
• Articulates an appealing vision • Communicates high performance expectations
and expresses confidence that followers can attain them
• Conveys, through words and actions, a new set of values and sets an example for followers to imitate
• Engages in emotion-inducing behavior to demonstrate courage and convictions about the vision
11-20
The Potential Dark Side of Charismatic Leadership
• Leaders don’t necessarily act in the best interest of the organization
• Use organizational resources for personal benefit
• Remake companies in their own image
• Allow self-interest and personal goals to override organization’s goals
11-21
Transformational Leadership
• Transactional leaders - motivate their followers in the direction of established goals by clarifying role and task requirements
• Transformational leaders - inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests for the good of the organization
11-22
Transactional vs. Transformational Leader
11-23
Transactional leaders - motivate their followers in the direction of established goals by clarifying role and task requirements
Transformational leaders - inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests for the good of the organization
11-24
Full Range of Leadership Model
11-25
How Transformational Leadership Works
• Followers are encouraged to be more innovative and creative
• Followers pursue more ambitious goals and have more personal commitment to them
• Vision engenders commitment from followers and greater sense of trust
11-26
Authentic Leadership
• Authentic leaders know who they are, know what they believe in and value, and act on those values and beliefs openly and candidly
• If we’re looking for the best possible leader, it is not enough to be charismatic or visionary – one must also be ethical and create trust on the part of followers
11-27
Challenges to the Leadership Construct
• Attribution theory of leadership says that leadership is merely an attribution that people make about other individuals
• Leaders don’t always have an impact on follower outcomes due to organizational variables that can neutralize the leader’s influence or act as substitutes for leadership
11-28
Finding and Creating Effective Leaders
• Selection: Personality test to look for traits associated
with leadership Match leaders to situations
• Training: Train those willing to change their behavior Can teach implementation skills and
transformational skills
