Chapter Opening
• The selection process for the replacement of
Jack Welch, CEO of General Electric,
¾ took 6 years, 5 months, and 2 days.
¾ That process was lengthy, beginning in 1994 when
Jack Welch was approaching his 59th birthday.
• The goal of the process
¾ was to groom someone to step into Welch’s shoes
with out impacting GE’s earnings and growth of at
least 10 percent per year.

• Welch and the Board each made lists of possible candidates
¾ assessed them according to the individuals’ talents and the gaps that
they had.
• Welch was a firm believer
¾ talent could be grown and nurtured in an environment where people
were given opportunities to excel.
• Over the next few years, the potential replacements were
given coaching and were evaluated
¾ on how well they developed themselves, reached their goals, and
demonstrated leadership.
• Each individual also had interactions with Board members
¾ aimed at getting the informal “feel” of working with each individual.
• Each December, the Chief of HR, and Jack Welch
¾ both provide their personal assessment of each candidate.

• Three individuals were chosen as finalists and
given their own major divisions to head at GE.
• On Sept. 9, 2001, it was announced
¾ that Jeff Immelt had won the GE CEO “Sweepstakes.”
¾ September 11th happened, and Immelt was faced with
™ the
loss of two employees,
™ $600 million in insurance losses,
™ an anthrax attack at GE’s NBC studios,
™ and an aircraft engine operations slowdown.
¾ But Immelt was successful, demonstrating that all of his
training had paid off.
• Interestingly, the other two finalists were soon
offered CEO positions in other companies
¾ McNerney of the 3M Company and Nardelli of Home
Depot.

Managers Versus Leaders
“Not all leaders are managers, nor are all
managers leaders.”
• Managers
¾ Persons whose influence on others is limited to the
appointed managerial authority of their positions to
reward and punish.
• Leaders
¾ Persons with managerial and personal power who can
influence others to perform actions beyond those that
could be dictated by those persons’ formal (position)
authority alone.

Trait Theories Of Leadership
• Trait theories of leadership
¾ Theories that attempt to isolate characteristics that
differentiate leaders from nonleaders
™ Attempts
to identify traits that always differentiate
leaders from followers and effective leaders from
ineffective leaders have failed.
™ Attempts
to identify traits consistently associated with
leadership have been more successful.

Behavioral Theories Of Leadership
• Behavioral theories of leadership
¾ Theories that attempt to isolate behaviors that
differentiate effective leaders from ineffective leaders
¾ Behavioral studies focus on identifying critical
behavioral determinants of leadership that, in turn,
could be used to train people to become leaders.

11–10
Leadership Behaviors or Styles
• Autocratic style of leadership
¾ A leader who centralizes authority, dictates work methods,
makes unilateral decisions, and limits employee participation.
• Democratic style of leadership
¾ A leader who involves employees in decision making, delegates
authority, encourages participation in deciding work methods
and goals, and uses feedback to coach employees.
™
A democratic-consultative leader seeks input and hears
the concerns and issues of employees but makes the final
decision him or herself.
™
A democratic-participative leader often allows employees
to have a say in what’s decided.

11–11
Leadership Behaviors or Styles (cont’d)
• Laissez-faire style of leadership
¾ A leader who gives employees complete freedom to
make decisions and to decide on work methods
• Conclusions about leadership styles
¾ The laissez-faire leadership style is ineffective.

The Ohio State Studies
• Studies that sought to identify independent
dimensions of leader behavior
¾ Initiating structure
™ The
extent to which a leader defines and structures his
or her role and the roles of employees to attain goals
¾ Consideration
™ The
extent to which a leader has job relationships
characterized by mutual trust, respect for employees’
ideas, and regard for their feelings

The University Of Michigan Studies
• Studies that sought to identify the behavioral
characteristics of leaders related to performance
effectiveness
¾ Employee oriented
™A
leader who emphasizes interpersonal relations, takes
a personal interest in the needs of employees, and
accepts individual differences.
¾ Production oriented
™A
leader who emphasizes technical or task aspects of a
job, is concerned mainly with accomplishing tasks, and
regards group members as a means to accomplishing
goals.

Contingency Theories Of Leadership
• Fiedler contingency leadership model
¾ The theory that effective group performance depends
on the proper match between the leader’s style of
interacting with employees and the degree to which
the situation gives control and influence to the leader
™ Uses
Least-preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire, to
measure the leader’s task or relationship orientation.
™ Identified
three situational criteria—leader member
relations, task structure, and position power—that
could be manipulated match an inflexible leadership
style.

11–18
Contingency Theories…(cont’d)
• Path-goal theory
¾ The theory that it is a leader’s job to assist followers
in attaining their goals and to provide the necessary
direction and support
¾ A leader’s motivational behavior:
™ Makes
employee need satisfaction contingent on
effective performance.
™ Provides the coaching, guidance, support, and rewards
that are necessary for effective performance.
¾ Assumes that the leader’s style is flexible and can be
changed to adapt to the situation at hand.

11–19
Path-Goal Leadership Behaviors
• Directive leader
¾ Lets employees know what is expected of them, schedules work
to be done, and gives specific guidance as to how to accomplish
tasks.
• Supportive leader
¾ Is friendly and shows concern for the needs of employees.
• Participative leader
¾ Consults with employees and uses their suggestions before
making a decision.
• Achievement-oriented leader

Other Contingency Leadership Models
• Leader-participation model (Vroom, Yetton and
Jago)
¾ Provided a sequential set of rules for determining the
form and amount of participation a leader should
exercise in decision making according to different
types of situations.
™ The
model was a decision tree incorporating seven
contingencies (whose relevance could be identified by
making yes or no choices) and five alternative leader
ship styles.
¾ Assumed an adaptable leadership style.

Situational Leadership
• Situational leadership theory (SLT)
¾ Leaders should adjust their leadership styles—telling,
selling, participating, and delegating—in accordance
with the readiness of their followers.
™ Acceptance:
Leader effectiveness reflects the reality
that it is the followers who accept or reject the leader.
™ Readiness:
a follower’s ability and willingness to
perform.
™ At
higher levels of readiness, leaders respond by
reducing control over and involvement with employees.

Emerging Approaches To Leadership
• Charismatic leadership theory
¾ Followers make attributions of heroic or extraordinary
leadership abilities when they observe certain
behaviors
™ People
working for charismatic leaders are motivated to
exert extra work effort and, because they like and
respect their leaders, express greater satisfaction.
¾ Charisma leadership appears to be most appropriate
when the followers’ task has a ideological component
or when the environment involves a high degree of
stress and uncertainty.

11–26
Charismatic Leadership
• A charismatic leader influences followers by:
¾ Stating a vision that provides a sense of community
by linking the present with a better future.
¾ Communicating high expectations and expressing
confidence that followers can attain them.
¾ Conveying, through words and actions, a new set of
values, and by his or her behavior setting an example
for followers to imitate.
¾ Making self-sacrifices and engaging in unconventional
behavior to demonstrate courage and convictions
about the vision.
