Study Notes
Leadership Theories
-
Trait Theories: Leaders possess inherent qualities distinguishing them from non-leaders. Traits like intelligence, extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability are often considered, though their predictive value is debated. Research hasn't consistently identified a conclusive set of traits.
-
Behavioral Theories: Focus on observable leadership behaviors, not inherent traits. These actions are often categorized as consideration (relationship-focused) and initiating structure (task-oriented), with effectiveness dependent on the situation.
-
Contingency Theories: No single best leadership style exists; effectiveness depends on the context. Factors like follower characteristics, task demands, and organizational culture influence the optimal approach. Path-goal theory suggests adapting style to fit follower needs and tasks.
-
Transformational Leadership: Focuses on inspiring followers for extraordinary outcomes. Key components include idealized influence (role modeling), inspirational motivation (encouraging enthusiasm), intellectual stimulation (promoting creativity), and individualized consideration (meeting individual needs).
-
Transactional Leadership: Clarifies expectations, sets targets, and provides rewards/corrections. Key aspects are contingent rewards, management by exception (active & passive), and laissez-faire. It emphasizes structured interaction and clear communication.
Self-Leadership
-
Self-leadership: Influencing one's own behavior towards personal goals. It's a proactive, self-directed approach to learning, development, and achieving results, encompassing both internal and behavioral strategies.
-
Strategies for Self-Leadership: Include:
- Self-Observation: Monitoring own behaviors.
- Self-Goal Setting: Establishing clear, challenging goals.
- Self-Reward: Providing incentives for achievement.
- Self-Punishment: Establishing consequences for not meeting goals.
- Self-Cueing: Using cues to prompt desired actions.
- Self-Re-evaluation: Assessing past performance.
- Behavioral Practices: Positive self-talk, visualizing success, time management, and planning.
-
Benefits of Self-Leadership: Leads to increased motivation, improved performance, reduced stress, and greater control. It fosters resilience and adaptability in dynamic environments.
-
Relationship between Leadership and Self-Leadership: Effective leaders often possess strong self-leadership skills, enabling them to effectively lead others. Self-awareness and management of behaviors, emotions, and actions strengthen leadership capacity.
-
Self-leadership development: Identifying areas for growth and focusing on specific strategies can improve personal efficacy.
