that motivates others to move with a
passion toward a common goal. So

influences others to accomplish an objective
and directs the organization in a way that
makes it more cohesive and coherent.

influence in which one person can enlist
the aid and support of others in the
accomplishment of a common task.”
-M Chemers

way for people to contribute to making
something extraordinary happen.”

understanding of who you are, what you
know and what you can do. To be
successful you have to convince your
followers not your superiors, that you are
worthy of being followed.
• Follower -You must know your people.
The fundamental starting point is having
a good understanding of human nature,
such as needs, emotions and motivation.

8. • Communication-The nonverbal com-
munication is leading. E.g.- when you set example
that communicates to your people that you would
not ask them to perform anything that you would
not be willing to do. Bad communication harm the
relation between leader and employee.

the best course of action and the leadership style
needed for each situation. What we do in one
situation will not always work in another.

11.  Autocratic– The authoritarian leader makes decisions
alone as power is centralized in one person. Decisions
are enforced using rewards and the fear of punishment.
it is an abusive, unprofessional style called “bossing
people around.”
 Democratic- The participative leader include one or
more employees in the decision making process.
Communication flow freely; suggestions are made in
both directions. The participation encourages member
commitment to the final decision.
 Laissez-faire- The free-rein leader gives power to
subordinates to make the decisions. However, the leader
is still responsible for the decisions that are made. This is
used when employees are able to analyze the situation.
Deligative style is generally not useful.

leader is a function of various contingencies in the
form of subordinate, task, and/or group variables.
The Leaders who are very effective at one place and
time may become unsuccessful either when

around them change.

a while to have the 'Midas touch' suddenly appear to
go off the boil and make very unsuccessful
decisions.
