History / Timeline of Leadership Theory | 1950's Trait Theory --> 1960's Behavioral Styles Theory --> 1970's Situational Theory --> 1980's Transformational Theory |
Trait Theory (1950's) | states that effective leaders possess a set of traits that they were born with -drive; need for achievement - desire to lead - honesty / integrity - self-confidence - emotional stability - cognitive abilities - knowledge on business - height |
Behavioral Style Theory (1960's) | WWII studies of the patterns of leader behaviors which are... - Initiating Structure; setting tasks + goals to structure the work of the employees - Consideration; relationship focus w/ the employees |
What else can consideration and initiating structure be called? | Consideration = concern for people Initiating Structure = concern for production important to have both behaviors because they are related to different employee outcomes country club --> all fun, no work dictator --> no fun all work |
Noel Tichy Article | Main point is that great leaders tell stories because storytelling is a leadership tool - stories transmit meaning and you can get people to follow you through stories |
Situational Theory (1970's) | states that no particular leader is best in all situations and that leaders should adapt or be matched to the situaion |
Fiedler Model of Situational Theory | leaders don't change their style --> if they're not a good fit, change them |
Hersey / Blanchard Model of Situational Theory | adapt style for the specific situation; situation is how ready, willing, and able to take responsibility and action the followers are |
Levels of Readiness | S1; low follower readiness -->unable, unwilling, and insecure S2; moderate follower readiness --> unable, willing, and confident S3: moderate follower readiness --> able, unwilling, insecure S4; high follower readiness --> able, willing, confident |
What to do w/ S1 Level of Readiness? | S1; provide lots of task direction + low relationship focus aka TELLING structure ex: provide specific instructions and closely supervise performance |
What to do w/ S2 Level of Readiness? | S2; provide lots of task direction + high relationship focus aka SELLING structure ex: provide communication and explain instructions |
What to do w/ S3 Level of Readiness? | S3; low task direction + high relationship focus aka PARTICIPATING structure ex: share ideas but mostly support the follower |
What to do w/ S4 Level of Readiness? | S4; low task direction + low relationship focus aka DELEGATING structure ex: turn over responsibility for decisions and implementation |
