The document discusses various leadership styles:
1) Autocratic leaders make all decisions individually with little input from others. Democratic leaders encourage participation but make the final decision. Bureaucratic leadership focuses on rules and procedures.
2) Laissez-faire leaders offer little guidance and let group members make decisions independently. Charismatic leaders inspire through passion and vision rather than rules.
3) The scenarios describe how each leadership style would approach setting goals in a company meeting - from autocratic leaders dictating goals to democratic leaders discussing goals with the group.
2. What is a Leader?
The person who leads or
commands a group, organization
or country
Has a vision and leads the group
towards a common goal that
needs to be achieved.
3. Characteristic of leadership
Some say that leaders are born, but if you look at the 10
characteristics of a leader you will see that these characteristics
are skill based and therefore can be learnt.
A Clear Vision
Empathetic
Decisive
Confidence
Ambition
Flexibility
Sense of Humor
Courage
Inspiration
Attitude
4. So there we have 10 Characteristics of a leader,
we don't have to equally strong in all areas, we can
have members of the team to enhance weaker
areas. But to have these 10 characteristics is
something a true leader will have or will be working
towards. All leaders are readers. i.e. committed to
personal and organizational development.
6. Scenarios
You’re in a company meeting and the leader is
talking about ways to achieve their goals.
1) What would an autocratic leader do?
2) What would a democratic leader do?
3) What would a Bureaucratic leader do?
4) What would a laissez-faire leader do?
5) What would a charismatic leader do?
7. Autocratic Leaders
Characterized by individual control
over all decisions and little input from
group members
Provide clear expectations for what
needs to be done, when it should be
done, and how it should be done.
Best applied to situations where there
is little time for group decision-making
or where the leader is the most
knowledgeable member of the group
Example: Hitler
Hitler was an
autocratic leader
because nobody
had a say in what
happened and they
couldn’t speak out
against his régime
or they’d Be killed .
8. Scenarios: Autocratic
The autocratic would not
consult the rest of the
team and set their own
goals and assume that
the group members
would achieve them up
to their expectations
9. Democratic Leaders
Generally the most effective leadership
style
Offer guidance to group members, but they
also participate in the group and allow input
from other group members
Encourage group members to participate,
but retain the final say over the decision-
making process.
Members in this group were less productive
than the members of the authoritarian
group, but their contributions were of a
much higher quality(Cherry).
Example: Barack Obama
Obama is a
democratic leader
because the
elected members of
government have a
say just as much as
he does
10. Scenarios: Democratic
A democratic leader would
discuss with the group
members, goals that
would be obtainable. An
example of these are the
SMART goals - specific,
measurable, achievable,
relevant and timely.
11. Bureaucratic Leadership
oThe bureaucratic leadership is a
style of leadership that focus on
rules & procedure to manage
teams &project .
oEmployment is based on the
most technically proficient
Steve Jobs started
Apple with Steve
Wozniak in 1976. In
1984, Apple released
the first Macintosh
computer and changed
computing forever.
13. Laissez-faire
Least productive of all three groups
Offer little or no guidance to group
members and leave decision-making
up to group members. (Cherry)
Ghandi was a laissez-
faire leader because
he encouraged
peaceful protesting
and he didn’t direct the
group, they all came
together to work
towards a common
goal
14. Scenarios: Laissez-faire
Would not set long term
goals for the group to
achieve and allow
members to work at
their own pace and
independently
15. Charismatic
Charismatic leadership is one of
the modern leadership style in
the changing world.
They show concern for their
people and they look after their
people’s needs.
P.M.Modi, who holds a
towering personality, is one of
the few charismatic mass
leaders which India has seen
in its history. In July 2015, the
prime minister unveiled the
‘Digital India Mission’ to
create a Digital India where
technology plays a key role in
bringing a qualitative change
on people’s lives.
16. Scenarios: Charismatic
Charismatic leaders speak
about their moral compass
or passion rather than an
existing method of doing
business.
The personal vision of a
charismatic leader has a
great deal of influence
over his or her audience.
