    From Mahatma Gandhi to Adolf Hitler to Barack

    Obama ,there are as many leadership styles as


    there are leaders..

    LEADERSHIP
    STYLES
    •Leadership style is a manner and
    approach of providing direction
    ,implementing plans and motivating
    people.
    •Leadership style in traditional
    leadership theory is how you relate
    to your subordinates.
    Understanding Leadership
    styles
    The leadership style we will discuss
    here are:

     AUTOCRATIC STYLE
     DEMOCRATIC STYLE
     LAISSEZ FAIRE STYLE
    AUTHORITARIAN (AUTOCRATIC)

    Manager retains as much


    power and decision-making
    authority as possible. The
    manager does not consult
    employees, nor are they
    allowed to give any input.
    Employees are expected to
    obey orders without
    receiving any explanations.
    The motivation
    environment is produced by
    creating a structured set
    of rewards and
    punishments.

    I want both of you to. . .


    What is Autocratic Leadership ?
    Autocratic leadership is a classical leadership style with the
    following characteristics:
    1. Manager seeks to make as many decisions as possible
    2. Manager seeks to have the most authority and control in
    decision making
    3. Manager seeks to retain responsibility rather than utilize
    complete delegation
    4. Consultation with other colleagues in minimal and decision
    making becomes a solitary process
    5. Managers are less concerned with investing their own
    leadership development, and prefer to simply work on the task
    at hand.
    BENEFITS OF AUTOCRATIC STYLE

     Reduced stress due to increased control


     A more productive group ‘while the leader is
    watching’
     Improved logistics of operations
     Faster decision making
    DISADVANTAGES
     Short-termistic approach to management.
     Manager perceived as having poor leadership skills
     Increased workload for the manager
     People dislike being ordered around
     Teams become dependent upon their leader
    Adolf Hitler and his administration
    were responsible for the deaths of
    millions of Jewish people. Stalin
    killed over 3 million people through
    famines, executions and forced
    labor. Castro is symbolic with having
    control over Cuba's resources,
    resulting in food rationing and
    numerous attempts by residents to
    flee the country.
    DEMOCRATIC STYLE
    (PARTICIPATIVE STYLE)
    Democratic Leadership
    is the leadership style
    that promotes the
    sharing of
    responsibility, the
    exercise of delegation
    and continual
    consultation.

    Let's work together to solve this. . .


    What is Democratic Leadership?

    The style has the following characteristics:


    1. Manager seeks consultation on all major issues
    and decisions.
    2. Manager effectively delegate tasks to
    subordinates and give them full control and
    responsibility for those tasks.
    3. Manager welcomes feedback on the results of
    intiatives and the work environment.
    4. Manager encourages others to become leaders
    and be involved in leadership development.
    BENEFITS OF DEMOCRATIC STYLE
     Positive work environment
     Successful initiatives
     Creative thinking
     Reduction of friction and office politics
     Reduced employee turnover
    DISADVANTAGES
     Lengthy and ‘boring’ decision making
     Danger of pseudo participation
     Like the other styles, the democratic style is
    not always appropriate. It is most successful
    when used with highly skilled or experienced
    employees or when implementing operational
    changes or resolving individual or group
    problems.
    Indra Nooyi
    • “Leadership is hard to define
    and good leadership even
    harder. But if you can get
    people to follow you to the
    ends of the earth, you are a
    great leader. As a leader, I
    am tough on myself and I
    raise the standard for
    everybody; however, I am
    very caring because I want
    people to excel at what they
    are doing so that they can
    aspire to be me in the
    future."
    • Indra Nooyi in an interview
    to CNBC in June 2008.
     As someone who has always aspired to build a company
    committed to its people and to the world, I admire her
    determination to achieve sustainability at an established
    company like PepsiCo. And I believe that all socially
    responsible companies could learn from Indra Nooyi's style of
    leadership."

    Howard Schulz, president and CEO of Starbucks coffee company,


    on presenting Nooyi the 2008 time 100 award.-
    Narayana Murthy and Infosys
    Narayana Murthy turned a
    small software development
    venture that he had set up
    with his friends in 1981, into
    one of the leading companies
    of the country. Infosys grew
    rapidly throughout the
    1990s. He distributed the
    company’s profits among the
    employees through a stock
    option program and adopted
    the best corporate
    governance practice.
    LAISSEZ-FAIRE
    This French phrase
    means “leave it be” and
    is used to describe a
    leader who leaves
    his/her colleagues to
    get on with their work.
    The style is largely a
    "hands off" view that
    tends to minimize the
    amount of direction and
    face time required.

    You two take care of the problem


    while I go. . .
    This is an effective style to use when:

     Employees are highly skilled, experienced, and


    educated.
     Employees have pride in their work and the drive to
    do it successfully on their own.
     Outside experts, such as staff specialists or
    consultants are being used
     Employees are trustworthy and experienced.
    Disadvantages
     It makes employees feel insecure at the
    unavailability of a manager.
     The manager cannot provide regular feedback to let
    employees know how well they are doing.
     Managers are unable to thank employees for their
    good work.
     The manager doesn’t understand his or her
    responsibilities and is hoping the employees can
    cover for him or her.
