Role of a leader: Function + shaping of roles

• Human beings in a group have different roles –deliberately or unintentionally

• Typical roles needed by a group:• those who look for connection and cooperation in the group• those who care for the needs of the group and its members• those who look for the fun factor in the group

But also• the outsider• the provocator

• In their different life contexts people have very different roles: spouse, parent, friend, neighbor, colleague, road user, club treasurer, citizen of a country

• In each role, a lot, but by no means all, of their possibilities becomes visible

Role of a leader: Roles in organizations

Even in organizations, people have a bunch of roles:

Colleague, employee, supervisor, manager, leader

and eventually also:

Friend, party member, family member, fellow sufferer,Familiar ...

Role of a leader: designing a role

• To design a role people use a variety of professional experiences, life experiences, qualifications, potentials, values, images and fantasies.

• Sometimes they have taken similar roles in another context, e.g. Chairman of an association, coach in sports….. For many roles they have role models.

• From this reservoir of experiences and imagination they select what can be helpful for the design of the current role.

• The process of choosing can be conscious or unconscious.

• Design of the role is not understood in the sense of a theatrical role: "I play a role".

Role of a leader

The role is the link between person and organization:

person organization

role

• How is the role designed (task, competence, responsibilities)?

• What is expected of the role from the perspective of the organization?

• How different and contradictory are the different expectations?

Role of a leader: role analysis

Please work in tandems:

• How is the role of a scientific leader designed?

• What is expected from a scientific leader (by his colleagues, coordinators, others)?

• What do research institutions expect from scientific leaders?

• Where do you experience contradictions in the expectations?

• What is a good leader in scientific world (please use your preparation notes)?

=> Use the handout and take notes on it.

Role of a leader: conclusion 1

• The way of leading is strongly influenced by personal values, one's own morality and ethics.

• These values can be influenced and controlled by the basic leadership values that prevail in an organization.

• The design of the leading role is also determined by the accordance or difference between self-image and external image.

• Regular self-reflection and open communication with supervisors, colleagues and employees on attitudes are the foundations for further development and successful leadership.

Leadership and personal motives

Please build groups of 4-5 participants:

• What motivates your actions in (professional) life? or

• What is important to you in working with others?

• Motive = Expression of inner desire that influences the action of a person, i.ex. curiosity

=> Please create a list of all the motives that appear in your group and write the most important ones on post-it’s


Influence of personal motives:

• Motives are an expression of inner desires. • Motives are distinct for each individual. • People always try to satisfy their most distinct inner desires => high influence on

ones actions.• Motives show what is important for a person and what stresses her.• Motives are expressed in certain behavioral patterns.• Motives influence personal viewpoints.

=> If you are aware of your personal motives it can help you to change perspective in certain situations and to avoid conflicts.


LUXX Profile = instrument to get to know your motives

• Based on motive-oriented personality research.

• The LUXXprofile discloses which motives have the most priority for a person and how this triggers his behavior.

• Was developed in 2016/2017 by the University of Luxembourg ‘Computer Based Assessment Group’ .

• Distinguishes 16 fundamental motives


• Curiosity • Idealism or Social engagemen

• Social acceptance • Structure

• Power • Safety

• Status • Revenge

• Retention • Physical exercise

• Autonomy • Food enjoyment

• Social participation • Family

• Morality or Priniciples • Eros or Sensuality

The 16 fundamental motives:

Personal motives – self-reflection

Please work in pairs:

• If you look on the 16 motives of the LUXX profile which motives are important / a bit important / less important for you?

=> Use the handout and help each other in mutual questions
