guidance, support,
and corrective
feedback for day-today activities.
Strategic leadership
 Behavior that gives
purpose and meaning
to organizations,
envisioning and
creating a positive

how well they are led but also because of how
well followers follow.
The most effective followers are capable of:
 Independent thinking.
 Actively committed to organizational goals.
Effective followers are distinguished from
ineffective ones by their enthusiasm and
commitment to the organization and to a person
or purpose – an idea, a product – other than
themselves or their own interests.

Power
Legitimate power is where the leader has the right, or
authority to tell others what to do; employees are obligated
to comply with legitimate orders.
Reward power is where the leader influences others
because she or he controls valued rewards; people comply
with the leader’s wishes in order to receive those rewards.
Coercive power is where the leader has control over
punishments; people comply to avoid those punishments.
Referent power is where the leader has personal
characteristics that appeal to others; people comply
because of admiration, a desire for approval, personal
liking, or a desire to be like the leader.
Expert power is where the leader has certain expertise or
knowledge; people comply because they believe in, can
learn from, or can otherwise gain from that expertise. 10-16

Traditional Approaches to
Understanding Leadership
Trait approach
 is the oldest leadership perspective and was
dominant for several decades.

Leader Behaviors
Behavioral approach
 A leadership perspective that attempts to identify
what good leaders do—that is, what behaviors
they exhibit.
 The three general categories of leadership are:
• Task-performance behaviors
• Group maintenance behaviors
• Leader-Member Exchange (LMX)
10-19
Leader Behaviors
Task performance behaviors
 Actions taken to ensure that the work group or
organization reaches its goals.
10-20
Task Performance Behaviors
This dimension is sometimes referred to as:
 concern for production
 directive leadership
 initiating structure or closeness of supervision.
It includes a focus on:
 work speed
 quality and accuracy
 quantity of output
 following the rules.
10-21
10-21
Group Maintenance
Group maintenance behaviors
 Actions taken to ensure the satisfaction of group
members, develop and maintain harmonious
work relationships, and preserve the social
stability of the group
10-22
Group Maintenance
This dimension is sometimes referred to as:
 concern for people
 supportive leadership
 consideration.
It includes a focus on:
 People’s feelings and comfort
 Appreciation of the person
 Stress reduction
10-23
10-23
Group Maintenance
Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory
 Highlights the importance of leader behaviors not
just toward the group as a whole but toward
individuals on a personal basis.
This includes a focus on:
 Trust
 Open communication
 Mutual respect
 Mutual obligation
 Mutual loyalty
10-24
Questions Assessing Task Performance
and Group Maintenance Leadership
Exhibit 10.2
10-25
Participation in Decision Making
Laissez-faire
 leadership philosophy
characterized by an
absence of managerial
decision making.
 Leads to more
negative attitudes and
lower performance.
10-26
Participation in Decision Making
Autocratic leadership
 A form of leadership in which the leader makes
decisions on his or her own and then announces
those decisions to the group
Democratic leadership
 A form of leadership in which the leader solicits
input from subordinates.
10-28

10-29
Performance and maintenance
behaviors
Ohio State studies found supervisors who were high
on maintenance behaviors (which the researchers
termed consideration) had fewer grievances and less
turnover in their work units than supervisors who were
low on this dimension.
Ohio State studies found the opposite for task
performance behaviors (which the team called
initiating structure). Supervisors high on this dimension
had more grievances and higher turnover rates.
An equally famous research program at the University
of Michigan concluded that the most effective
managers engaged in what they called task-oriented
behavior; planning, scheduling, coordinating, providing
resources, and setting performance goals.

The Best Way to Lead
Depends on the Situation
Situational approach
 Leadership perspective proposing that universally
important traits and behaviors do not exist, and
that effective leadership behavior varies from
situation to situation.
 These approaches include:
•
•
•
•
The Vroom model
Fiedler’s Contingency Model
Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Theory
Path-Goal Theory
10-31
Vroom-Yetton-Jago Model
Many people believe that making tough
decisions is at the heart of leadership.
However, experienced leaders will tell you that
deciding how to make decisions is just as
important.
The normative decision theory helps leaders
decide how much employee participation (from
none to letting employees make the entire
decision) should be used when making decisions.

Fiedler’s Contingency Model
Fiedler’s contingency model of leadership
effectiveness
 A situational approach to leadership postulating
that effectiveness depends on the personal style
of the leader and the degree to which the
situation gives the leader power, control, and
influence over the situation.
10-37
Fiedler’s Contingency Model
Task-motivated
Relationship-
leadership
motivated leadership
 Leadership that places
primary emphasis on
completing a task.
 Leadership that
places primary
emphasis on
maintaining good
interpersonal
relationships.
10-38
Putting Leaders in the Right Situation Fiedler’s
Contingency Theory
In order to maximize work group
performance, leaders must be matched to the
right leadership situation.
Basic assumptions of Fiedler’s theory
 Leaders are effective when the work groups they
lead perform well.
• So instead of judging leader effectiveness by what a
leader does (i.e., initiating structure and consideration)
or who the leader is (i.e., trait theory), Fiedler assesses
leaders by the conduct and performance of the people
39
they supervise.
10-39
Fiedler’s Contingency Theory
 Leaders are generally unable to change
their leadership styles
 leaders will be more effective when their
leadership styles are matched to the proper
situation.
 The favorableness of a situation for a
leader depends on the degree to which
the situation permits the leader to
influence the behavior of group members.

Leadership Style:
Least Preferred Coworker
• Leadership style is the way a leader generally behaves
toward followers.
• Assumes that leadership styles are tied to leader’s
underlying needs and personality
• Since personality and needs are relative stable, then
leaders are generally incapable of changing leadership
styles.
• The way leaders treat people is probably the way they’ve
always treated others.
 Yell, scream and blame others, or do they listen and quietly
correct mistakes.

• Style is measured by the Least Preferred Co-worker scale
(LPC)
 relationship-oriented
 task-oriented

Leadership Style:

People who describe their LPC in a positive manner have relationship
orientated leadership styles. People who describe their LPC in a
negative manner have task orientated leadership styles.

Situational Favorableness
Situational Favorableness
Assumes that leaders will be more effective
when their leadership styles are matched to the
proper situation.
Situational Favorableness is the degree to
which a particular situation either permits or
denies a leader the chance to influence the
behavior of group members.
Three factors determine the favorability of a
situation:
 Leader-member relations
 Task structure
 Position power
