leadership series styles
DESCRIPTION
Leadership comes in many forms and not one size ever fits all. It is more common that several sizes fit one person. What I mean by that is that a successful leader will have many different styles to use for differing situations. In this presentation the participants will leave with an understanding of many leadership styles and will have the ability to select which works best for them in which situation and with which type of employee.TRANSCRIPT

LEADERSHIP SERIES
Styles of leadership
![Page 2: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
DEFINITION OF LEADERSHIP STYLE
The manner and approach of providing
direction, implementing plans, and motivating
people.
Leading people is very much like directing an
orchestra
Lead Like The Great Conductors
![Page 3: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
THREE MAJOR STYLES OF LEADERSHIP
Authoritarian or autocratic
Participative or democratic
Delegative or Free Reign
![Page 4: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
AUTHORITARIAN OR AUTOCRATIC
“I want both of you to….”
This style is used when leaders tell their
employees what they want done and how they
want it accomplished, without getting the
advice of their followers.
![Page 5: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
PORTRAYED CHARACTERISTICS OF
AUTHORITARIAN
(AUTOCRATIC) Yelling
Using demeaning language
Leading by threats
Abusing their power
This is not authoritarian style but rather is an abusive, unprofessional style called “bossing people around”
It has no place in a leaders repertoire
![Page 6: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PARTICIPATIVE (DEMOCRATIC)
“Let’s work together to solve this….”
This style involves the leader including one or
more employees in the decision making
process (determining what to do and how to do
it)
The leader maintains the final decision making
authority.
![Page 7: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PRESUMED CHARACTERISTICS OF
PARTICIPATIVE (DEMOCRATIC)
Weakness
It’s actually a sign of strength that your employees will respect
Normally used when you have part of the information and your employees have other parts.
Leader is not expected to know everything – that’s why you employ knowledgeable and skillful employees.
Use of this style is mutually beneficial – allows them to be part of the team and you to make better decisions.
![Page 8: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DELEGATIVE (FREE REIGN)
“You two take care of the problem while I go….”
Leader allows the employees to make the decisions.
Leader is still responsible for the decisions that are made.
Used when employees are able to analyze the situation and determine what needs to be done and how to do it.
You can’t do everything, set priorities and delegate certain tasks
![Page 9: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO DELEGATIVE (FREE
REIGN)
Not a style to use so that you can blame others
when things go wrong.
Use when you fully trust and have confidence in
those you lead.
Don’t be afraid to use BUT, use it wisely!
![Page 10: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A GOOD (SUCCESSFUL) LEADER
Uses all three styles
Let’s discuss some instances where each style
would be useful.
![Page 11: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
FORCES THAT INFLUENCE STYLE TO BE USED
Time available
Relationships – Is there Trust? Respect? Disrespect?
Who has the information? You, employee, or both?
How well are employees trained?
How well do you know the task?
Internal conflicts
Stress levels
Type of task: is it structured, unstructured, complicated or simple?
Company policy or supervisor preference
![Page 12: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE APPROACHES
There is a difference in ways leaders approach
their employees.
Most leaders do not strictly use one or another,
but are somewhere on a continuum ranging
from extremely positive to extremely negative.
![Page 13: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
POSITIVE APPROACH
Use rewards
Education
Independence
These are used as motivators for employees
![Page 14: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
NEGATIVE APPROACH
Act domineering and superior with people.
They believe the only way to get things done is through penalties such as loss of job, days off without pay, reprimanding employees in front of others etc.
They believe their authority is increased by frightening everyone into higher levels of productivity.
Has a place in leader’s repertoire of tools, it must be used carefully due to it’s high cost on the human spirit.
![Page 15: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE APPROACH
Morale falls
Low productivity
Those who continuously work out of the
negative are bosses while those who primarily
work out of positive are considered real
leaders.
![Page 16: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CONSIDERATION AND STRUCTURE
Two other style options for leaders
Consideration and structure are independent of
each other, so they should not be viewed on
opposite ends of a continuum.
Example: a leader who becomes more considerate,
does not necessarily mean that she has become
less structured.
![Page 17: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CONSIDERATION (EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION)
Leaders are concerned about the human needs of their employees.
They build teamwork
Help employees with their problems*
Provide psychological support*
*On a professional not clinical level
Evidence of leaders who are considerate in their leadership style are employees who are higher performers and are more satisfied with their job.
![Page 18: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
STRUCTURED (TASK ORIENTATION)
Leaders believe that they get results by
consistently keeping people busy and urging
them to produce.
![Page 19: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
THE BLAKE MOUTON MANAGERIAL GRID
![Page 20: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
UNDERSTANDING THE MODEL
Based on two behavioral dimensions
Concern for People
Concern for Production
![Page 22: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CONCERN FOR PEOPLE
The degree to which a leader considers the
needs of team members, their interests, and
areas of personal development when deciding
how best to accomplish a task.
![Page 23: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CONCERN FOR PRODUCTION
The degree to which a leader emphasizes
concrete objectives, organizational efficiency
and high productivity when deciding how best
to accomplish a task
![Page 24: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
FIVE LEADERSHIP STYLES
1. Country Club Management
2. Team Management
3. Middle-of-the-Road Management
4. Impoverished Management
5. Authority-Compliance Management
![Page 25: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
COUNTRY CLUB MANAGEMENT – HIGH
PEOPLE/LOW PRODUCTION
Thoughtful attention to the needs of people for satisfying relationships leads to a comfortable, friendly organization atmosphere and work tempo.
Leader is most concerned about the needs and feelings of member members of his/her team.
They operate under the assumption that as long as team members are happy and secure then they will work hard.
Result – work environment that is very relaxed and fun but where production suffers due to lack of direction and control.
![Page 26: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
PRODUCE OR PERISH LEADERSHIP – HIGH
PRODUCTION/LOW PEOPLE
Also known as Authoritarian or Compliance Leaders
Believe that employees are simply a means to an end.
Employee needs are always secondary to the need for efficient and productive workplaces.
Very autocratic, has strict work rules, policies and procedures, and views punishment as the most effective means to motivate employees.
![Page 27: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
IMPOVERISHED LEADERSHIP – LOW
PRODUCTION/LOW PEOPLE
Leader is mostly ineffective.
Has neither a high regard for creating systems
for getting the job done, nor for creating a work
environment that is satisfying and motivating.
Result – a place of disorganization,
dissatisfaction and disharmony
![Page 28: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD LEADERSHIP – MEDIUM
PRODUCTION/MEDIUM PEOPLE
Seems to be a balance of the two competing concerns.
May first appear to be an ideal compromise.
Result – problem is when you compromise, you necessarily give away a but of each concern so that neither production nor people needs are fully met. Leaders who use this settle for average performance and often believe that this is the most anyone can expect.
![Page 29: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
TEAM LEADERSHIP – HIGH PRODUCTION/HIGH
PEOPLE
According to the Blake Mouton model, this is
the pinnacle of managerial style.
These leaders stress less production needs
and the needs of the people equally highly.
Employees are involved in understanding
organizational purpose and determining
production needs.
![Page 30: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
APPLYING THE BLAKE MOUTON MANAGERIAL
GRID
Being aware of the various approaches is the
first step in understanding and improving how
well you perform as a manager.
It is important to understand how you currently
operate, then you can identify way of becoming
competent in both realms.
![Page 31: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
APPLYING THE BLAKE MOUTON MANAGERIAL
GRID
1. Identify your leadership style
2. Identify areas of improvement and develop
your leadership skills
3. Put the Grid in Context
![Page 32: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
APPLYING THE BLAKE MOUTON MANAGERIAL
GRID
Is a practical and useful framework that helps you think about your leadership style.
By plotting ‘concern for production’ against ‘concern for people’, the grid highlights how placing too much emphasis in one area at the expense of the other leads to low overall productivity.
This model proposes that when both people and production concerns are high, employee engagement and productivity increases accordingly.
![Page 33: Leadership series styles](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554e44a8b4c905f9478b539c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
WHAT STYLE(S) DO YOU CURRENTLY USE?
Do you have a style that you use?
If you did, has this information caused you to
rethink this choice?
If you didn’t, will you now begin using one or
several?
