Theories of leadership include trait theories identifying key characteristics, behavioral theories examining styles like democratic vs autocratic, and contingency theories noting the importance of situational factors.

    The key takeaways are that the text discusses the differences between managers and leaders, theories of leadership traits, contingency models of leadership, and transformational vs transactional leadership styles.

    Managers are appointed and have formal authority to reward and punish, while leaders can emerge from within a group and influence others through personal qualities rather than formal power. Leaders complement and intersect with managers but are not necessarily the same.

    Early research identified seven traits of leaders: vision, drive, desire to lead, honesty/integrity, self-confidence, intelligence, and job-relevant knowledge. However, traits alone are not sufficient to explain leadership effectiveness.

    Managers vs. Leaders


    Writers frequently use the two terms synonymously. However, they are not necessarily the same. Managers are appointed. They have legitimate power to reward and to punish, given by the authority inherent in their formal position in organization. Leaders may either be appointed or emerge from within a group. They can influence others to perform beyond the actions dictated by formal authority.

    Trait theories of leadership

    The search for traits or characteristics that differentiate leaders from nonleaders dominated early research efforts in the study of leadership Is it possible to isolate a set of traits from individuals we consider leaders, which make the difference from nonleaders?

    Is it possible to use this set of traits then as a test in order to separate leaders from nonleaders?

    7 traits that make the difference


    1.Vision. Leaders have vision and can project their goals into the desirable future.

    2.Drive. Leaders have a high desire for achievement. They are ambitious and display a high level of effort and initiative.
    3.Desire to lead. Leaders have a strong desire to influence and to lead others. They want to take responsibility. 4.Honesty and integrity. Leaders build trusting relationships between themselves and followers by being truthful and by showing high consistency between word and deed.

    7 traits that make the difference


    5.Self-confidence. Leaders must display self-confidence in order to convince followers of the rightness of goals and decisions. 6.Intelligence. Leaders need to be intelligent enough to gather, process and interpret large amounts of information and knowledge. They obtain the best solutions in solving problems and create visions.
    7.Job-relevant knowledge. Leaders have a high degree of knowledge about the company, industry and professional problems.

    Conclusions to trait theories

    Traits alone are not sufficient for explaining leadership. Such kind of explanations ignore situational factors. Traits are necessary for performing leadership but they are not enough. Possessing the appropriate traits only makes it more likely that an individual will be an effective leader. What is working in a given situation might not work as well in a different situation.

    Behavioral theories of leadership

    These theories isolate behaviors that differentiate effective leaders from ineffective leaders. Kurt Lewins studies University of Iowa The Ohio State University studies The University of Michigan studies

    Kurt Lewins studies

    Autocratic style. The leader centralizes authority, dictates work methods, makes unilateral decisions, and limits employee participation. Democratic style. The leader involves employees in decision making process, delegates authority, encourages participation in deciding work methods and goals, and uses feedback to coach employees.
    Laissez-faire style. The leader gives employees complete freedom to make decisions and to decide on work methods.

    Which is the best style?

    Studies showed that laissez-faire style is ineffective, regardless of the criterion used. Studies showed that autocratic and democratic styles produced similar quantity of work. However, quality of work and employees satisfaction have been higher for democratic styles.

    Later studies of autocratic and democratic styles of leadership showed mixed results, depending on the organizational context (contingency factors).

The leader searches for goal attainment and emphasizes meeting standards performance and tasks deadline. The leader is concentrated on the work process and on getting the expected results.

    Employee oriented leadership The leader emphasizes interpersonal relations, takes a personal interest in the needs of employees, and accepts individual differences.

    Production oriented leadership The leader emphasizes the technical aspects of a job, is concerned mainly with getting tasks done, and regards group members as a means to accomplishing goals.

    Researchers strongly favored leaders who were employeeoriented. They were associated with higher group productivity and higher job satisfaction.

    Fiedler contingency model

    Fiedler developed the least-preferred coworker (LPC) questionnaire, which claims to measure whether a person is task- or relationship-oriented. If the least-preferred coworker is described in relatively positive terms (a high LPC score), then the respondent is primarily interested in good relations with the coworker. If the least-preferred coworker is described in relatively negative terms (a low LPC score), then the respondent is primarily interested in production. He is task-oriented.

    Fiedler contingency model

    Once an individuals basic leadership style has been assessed through LPC, it is necessary to evaluate the circumstances and match the leader with the situation. It is important to note that Fiedler assumes that an individuals leadership style is fixed.

    If the situation requires a task-oriented leader and the person in leadership position is relationshiporiented, either the situation has to be modified or the leader has to be replaced.

    Transformational/Transactional Leaders

    Transformational leaders Leaders who inspire followers to transcend their own self-interest for the good of the organization and are capable of having a profound and extraordinary effect on followers. Transactional leaders Leaders who guide or motivate their followers toward established goals by clarifying role and task requirements.

    Transformational/Transactional Leaders

    Transformational leadership is built on transactional leadership. Transformational leadership produces levels of employee effort and performance that go beyond what would occur with a transactional approach alone.

    The evidence is supporting the superiority of transformational leadership over the transactional leadership.

    Credibility & Trust


    Credibility A characteristic attributed to a leader in terms of honesty, competence, and ability to inspire.

    The dominant component of credibility is honesty.


    In addition to honesty, credible leaders have been found to be competent and inspiring.

    Credibility & Trust

    Trust The belief in the integrity, character, and ability of a leader.

    Dimensions of trust: - Integrity = Honesty and truthfulness - Competence = Intelligence, knowledge and skills - Consistency = Reliability, predictability, solidity - Loyalty = To be faithful to a person - Openness = Sharing ideas and information freely

    Building Trust
    Practice openness Be fair Speak your feelings Tell the truth Be consistent Fulfill your promises Maintain confidences Develop communication, negotiating, and other interpersonal skills.
