Leaders  Persons with managerial and personal power who can influence others to perform actions beyond those that could be dictated by those persons’ formal (position) authority alone.

Democratic style of leadership  A leader who involves employees in decision making, delegates authority, encourages participation in deciding work methods and goals, and uses feedback to coach employees.  A democratic-consultative leader seeks input and hears the concerns and issues of employees but makes the final decision him or herself.  A democratic-participative leader often allows employees to have a say in what’s decided.

All rights reserved.11–10 Contingency Theories…(cont’d) Path-goal theory  The theory that it is a leader’s job to assist followers in attaining their goals and to provide the necessary direction and support  A leader’s motivational behavior:  Makes employee need satisfaction contingent on effective performance.  Provides the coaching, guidance, support, and rewards that are necessary for effective performance.  Assumes that the leader’s style is flexible and can be changed to adapt to the situation at hand.

13. Copyright © 2005 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.11–13 Situational Leadership Situational leadership theory (SLT)  Leaders should adjust their leadership styles—telling, selling, participating, and delegating—in accordance with the readiness of their followers.  Acceptance: Leader effectiveness reflects the reality that it is the followers who accept or reject the leader.  Readiness: a follower’s ability and willingness to perform.  At higher levels of readiness, leaders respond by reducing control over and involvement with employees.

14. Copyright © 2005 Prentice Hall, Inc.
