LEADERSHIP theory &
PRINCIPLES
 Over the next few minutes we will discuss in
detail the following Theories and Principles
 Some you may have seen and discussed
before and some not so much
 Here are just a few of the “Models” and
“Graphs” and those, who created them, that
we will discuss
Maslow’s HierarcHy of Needs
Abraham Harold Maslow (April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970) He created
Maslow hierarchy of needs. He stressed the importance of focusing on
the positive qualities in people, as opposed to treating them as a “bag of
symptoms”

MCGREGOR THEORY X & THEORY Y
Douglas Murray McGregor (1906–1964)
"...he coined the two terms Theory X and Theory Yand used them to
label two sets of beliefs a manager might hold about the origins of
human behavior
LEADERSHIP theory & PRINCIPLES
Douglas McGregor’s
Leadership Motivation Theory
X and Y
Motivation Theory X
 A Theory X manager makes the following
general assumptions:
 Work is inherently distasteful to most people,
who will attempt to avoid work whenever
possible.
 Most people are not ambitious, have little
desire for responsibility, and prefer to be
directed.
THeory “y” ParTiciPaTive
Management Style
 Effort in work is as natural as work and play.
 People will apply self-control and self-
direction in the pursuit of organizational
objectives, without external control or the
threat of punishment.
 Commitment to objectives is a function of
rewards associated with their achievement.
THeory “y” ParTiciPaTive
Management Style
 People usually accept and often seek
responsibility.
 The capacity to use a high degree of
imagination, ingenuity and creativity in
solving organizational problems is widely, not
narrowly, distributed in the population.

Motivator-Hygiene Theory =
Satisfiers and Dissatisfies
 He distinguished between:
 Motivators; (e.g. challenging work, recognition,
responsibility) which give positive satisfaction, and
 Hygiene factors; (e.g. status, job security, salary
and fringe benefits) that do not motivate if
present, but, if absent, result in demotivation.
 The name Hygiene factors is used because, like
hygiene, the presence will not make you healthier,
but absence can cause health deterioration.
Motivator-Hygiene Theory =
Satisfiers and Dissatisfies
 By considering Herzberg's two factor theory,
you can work out what dis-satisfies your
team, what motivates them and most
importantly, what you can do to increase job
satisfaction
