LEADERSHIP THEORYLEADERSHIP THEORY

1. TRAIT THEORY

2. BEHAVIORAL THEORIES

3. Cognitive resource theory

4. SITUATIONAL

5. TRANSFORMATIONAL

Page 22: Theories and styles of leadership

TRAIT THEORYTRAIT THEORYTrait theory:- Trait theory:- according to the trait theories, leader possess some personality traits that non leader do not possess at all, or possess only to small level.

Early trait theories Early trait theories identified:identified:Physical characteristics (height, appearance)Personality characteristics (extrovert)Skills and abilities (intelligence)Social factors (interpersonal skills)

Page 23: Theories and styles of leadership

Six traits on which leaders tend to differ from non-leaders are,

1. Ambition & Energy

2. The Desire To Lead

3. Honesty & Integrity

4. Self-confidence

5. Intelligence

6. Job-relevent Knowledge

Page 24: Theories and styles of leadership

The trait approach has at least four limitation:-

1.No universal traits

2.Predict behaviour more in “weak’’ situations than in “strong’’ situations

3.The evidence is unclear in separating cause from effect

4.Traits do a better job at predicting the appearance of leadership than in actually distinguishing between effective & ineffective leaders.

Page 25: Theories and styles of leadership

The Behavioural theoriesThe Behavioural theories:- Theory proposing that specific behaviours

Differentiate leaders from non-leaders.

If the behavioural approach to leadership were successful, it would have implications quite different from those of the trait approach.

If trait research had been successful, it would have provided a basis for selecting the “right’’ persons to assume formal positions in groups & organizations requiring leadership.

Page 26: Theories and styles of leadership

Consideration

work atmosphere of mutual trust respect for subordinates’ ideas consideration of subordinates’ feelings good two-way communication

Initiating structure structured their roles and the roles of subordinates toward

achieving goals actively involved in planning work activities, communicating

pertinent information, and scheduling work

Page 27: Theories and styles of leadership

Cognitive resource theory:-Cognitive resource theory:- This theory states that stress unfavourably effects the situation, & intelligence & experience can lessen the influence of stress on the leader. The importance of a leader’s intelligence & experience to his or her effectiveness differs under low & high stress situations.

Page 28: Theories and styles of leadership

This has led to three conclusions:-Directive behaviour results in good performance only if linked with high intelligence in supportive, low-stress situations.In high stress situations, there is a positive relationship between job experience & performance.The intellectual abilities f leaders correlate with group performance in situations that the leader perceives as low in stress.

Page 29: Theories and styles of leadership

Situational TheoriesSituational Theories

Leader style is either autocratic, consultative, or group

Style depends on three situational factors

1. leader-member relations

2. task structure

3. position power

Page 30: Theories and styles of leadership

Transformational leadership Transformational leadership theorytheory:-

Many years ago James Macgregor burns identified two types of political leadership,

The more traditional transactional leadership involves an exchange relationship between leaders & followers, but transformational leadership is based more on leader’s shifting the values, belief, & needs of their followers.

Page 31: Theories and styles of leadership

Three leader factors are important:

charismaindividualized consideration

1. delegating

2. paying attention to followers’ needs

3. treating followers with respectintellectual stimulation

1. offering new ideas to stimulate followers

2. encouraging followers to think and act creatively
