What is Leadership?
• Leadership is the process of influencing the behaviour of others to work willingly and enthusiastically for achieving predetermined goals.
• There can be no leadership without followers.
• A leader is capable of influencing them.
• It is an illusive art, practiced more on the basis of feel than on the basis of knowledge.

Definitions• According to TERRY• “Leadership is essentially a continuous process of
influencing behaviour. A leader breaths life into the group and motivates it towards goals. The lukewarm desires for achievement are transformed into a burning passion for accomplishment.”
• In simple words if we describe leadership in business world is that it is same like management both works for the flourishing the business but management more works on facts and figures but leadership works on persons own instinct how much he is able to influence people.

Management & leadership • "Leadership and management are two distinctive
and complementary systems of action. Each has its own function and characteristic activities. Both are necessary for success in an increasingly complex and volatile business environment...strong leadership with weak management is no better, and is sometimes actually worse, than the reverse. The real challenge is to combine strong leadership and strong management and use each to balance the other." — John Kotter, Management/Leadership Author and Professor of Organizational Behavior, Harvard Business School

LEADERSHIP THEORIES
• Charismatic Theory
• Trait Theory
• Behavioural Theory
• Situational Theory
![Page 20: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Charismatic Leadership Theory
• This theory is also known as Great Man Theory.
• It is based on a principle “a leader is born and is not made”.
• A leader has some charisma which acts as influencer.
• Charisma is a God gifted attribute in a person which makes him a leader irrespective of the situations in which he works. • Charismatic leaders are those who inspire followers and have a major impact on their organizations through their personal vision and energy.
![Page 21: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
According to Robert House “Charismatic leader has extremely high levels of self
confidence, dominance, and a strong conviction in the normal righteousness of his/her beliefs, or at least the ability to convince the followers that he/she possesses such confidence or conviction.”
Assumptions of Charismatic Theory• Leaders have some exceptional inborn leadership
qualities which are bestowed upon them by the divine power.
• Inborn qualities are sufficient for a leader to be successful.
• These qualities can’t be enhanced through education and training.
• These qualities make a leader effective and situational factors don’t have any influence.
![Page 22: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Trait Theory• The weakness of charismatic theory gave way to more
realistic approach to leadership.
• Trait is defined as relatively enduring quality of an individual.
• This theory accepted the fact that leadership traits are not completely inborn but can also be acquired through learning and experience.
• This approach seeks to determine ‘what makes a successful leader’ from the leaders own personal characteristics.
• It gives hypothesis on the qualities such as intelligence, attitudes, personality and biological factors for effective leaders.
• Various traits are classified into innate and acquirable traits.
![Page 23: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. Innate traits
Innate qualities are those which are possessed by various individuals since their birth. These qualities are natural and often known as god-gifted. On the basis of such qualities, it is said that ‘leaders are born and not made’. These qualities can not be acquired by the individuals. The following are the major innate qualities :
Physical features :- Physical features of a man are determined by heredity factors. Physical characteristics and rate of maturation determine the personality formation. To some extent, height, weight, physique, health and appearance are important for leadership.
Intelligence :- Intelligence is generally expressed in terms of mental ability. It, to a very great extent is a natural quality in the individuals because it is directly related with brain. Though, many psychologists claim that the level of intelligence in an individual can be increased through various training methods
![Page 24: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Acquirable Traits Acquirable qualities of leadership are those which can be acquired
and increased through various processes. Such as, when a child is born, he learns many of the behavioural patterns through socialisation and identification processes. The following are the major acquirable qualities:-
• Emotional Stability:- A leader should have high level of emotional stability. He should be free from bias, is consistent in action, and refrains from anger. He must be self confident and believes that he can meet most situations successfully.
• Human Relations:- A leader should know how to deal with human beings. He should have intimate knowledge of people, their relationship to each other and their reaction to various situations.
• Empathy:- Empathy refers to observing the things or situations from others point of view. It is considered as very important aspect for successful leader. Empathy requires respect for the other persons, their rights, beliefs, values and feelings.
• Objectivity:- Objectivity implies that what a leader does should be based on relevant facts and information. The leader must be objective and doesn’t permit himself to get emotionally involved to the extent that he finds it difficult to make an objective diagnosis and implement the action required.
![Page 25: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Motivating Skills:- A leader must be self motivated and also has requisite quality to motivate his followers. Both the inner drive and external forces motivate a person for higher performance. The leader can play active role in stimulating the inner drives of his followers.
• Technical Skills:- Leader must have the ability to plan, organise, delegate, analyses, seek advice, make decision, control and win cooperation. The use of these abilities constitute technical competence of leadership.
• Communication Skills:- A successful leader knows how to communicate effectively. Communication has greater force in getting the acceptance from the receivers of communication. A leader uses communication skillfully for persuasive, informative, and stimulating purposes.
• Social Skills:- A successful leader has social skills. He understand people and knows their strengths and weaknesses. He has the ability to work with people and conducts himself so that he gains their confidence and loyalty, and people cooperate willingly with him.

Behavioural Theory
• Behavioural theory emphasises that strong leadership is the result of effective role behaviour.
• Leadership is shown by a person’s acts more than by his traits.
• Researchers exploring leadership role come to the conclusion that to operate effectively, group needs to perform two functions:-
(i) Task Related Function:- It is also known as problem solving functions, relates to providing solutions to the problem faced by the group, in performing jobs and activities.
(ii) Group Maintenance Function:- It is also known as social functions, relates to action of mediating disputes and ensuring that individuals feel valued by groups.
![Page 27: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
For performing these Two functions successfully two different type of leader’s behaviour are required these are:-
• Functional Behaviour:-Functional behaviour influences followers positively and includes such functions as setting clear goals, motivating employees for achieving goals, raising the level of morale, building team spirit, effective two way communication.
• Disfunctional Behaviour:-Disfunctional behaviour is unfavorable to the followers and denotes ineffective leadership. Such a behaviour may be inability to accept employees ideas, display of emotional immaturity, poor human relations etc.

Situational Theory• Situational theory is also known as Contingency
theory.
• This theory was applied first time in 1920 in the armed forces of Germany with the objective to get good generals under different situations.
• The prime attention in this theory is given to the situation in which leadership is exercised.
• Effectiveness of leadership is affected by the factors associated with the leader (Leader’s behaviour) and the factor associated with the situation(Situational factors).
![Page 29: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Transactional leadership – based on the principles of social exchange. The basic premise is that individuals engage in social interaction expecting mutual social, political, psychological, and economic benefits or rewards.
![Page 30: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Transformational leadership – is focused on effecting revolutionary change in organizations through commitment to the organization in all its facets.
![Page 31: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Leader’s BehaviourLeader’s behaviour is further affected by two
variables:-• Leader’s Characteristics:-The behaviour of the
individual is influenced by intelligence and ability, his characteristics like his personality characteristics, attitudes, interest, motivation, and physical characteristics such as age , sex, and physical features.
• Leader’s Hierarchical Position:-Leader’s hierarchical position in the organisation is very important because persons at different levels face different kinds of problem which effect the degree of participation between the superior and his subordinates in arriving at decisions to solve the problems.
![Page 32: Leadership Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d2a80b4af9fb97c8b478c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Situational FactorsThe various situational factors are grouped into four
categories:-• Subordinate Characteristics:-It includes personality
characteristics, attitude, interest, motivation, physical characteristics such as age, sex, physical features.
• Leader’s Situation:-The variables which determine the leaders situation are:
(i)Leader’s position power:-It helps in influencing others. High position power simplifies the leader’s task of influencing others, while low position power makes the leader’s task more difficult.
(ii)Leader’s Subordinate relation:-It is based on the classic exchange theory which suggests that there is two way influence in a social relationship. If the leader has good subordinates, and good relation with them, he is likely to be more effective.

• Group Factors:- Various group factors like task design, group composition, group norms, peer group relationship affect leadership effectiveness and performance. If these factors are favourable, the leader will be effective.
• Organisational Factors:- Organisational factors like organisational climate and organisational culture affect leadership effectiveness. If these are conductive, the leader will be effective.

LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION (IN A NUTSHELL)
• Communication is the key competency of today’s successful leader.
• Effective communication is two-way. This means sharing relevant information with the right audience at the right time, but also listening to the concerns, fears, suggestions and criticism of employees.
• There are many tools to achieve - Some of the tools useful, include regular leadership video conferences, lunch time forums with a cross section of staff at all levels, work place visits, personal letters and personal sessions as part of the induction programme for new employees.

• Consistent and regular communication is key to organizational harmony. Employees interpret corporate silence in many ways - not least of which is that the leadership has something to hide.

To lead people, walk beside them ...As for the best leaders, the people do not
notice their existence.The next best, the people honor and
praise.The next, the people fear;
and the next, the people hate ...When the best leader's work is done the
people say,"We did it ourselves!"
