2 Review trait theory research, and discuss the idea of one best style of leadership using the Ohio State studies and the Leadership Grid as points of reference. Explain, according to Fiedler’s contingency model, how leadership style interacts with situational control. Discuss House’s revised path-goal theory and Hersey and Blanchard’s situational leadership theory. Describe the difference between transactional and transformational leadership and discuss how transformational leadership transforms followers and work groups. Explain the leader-member exchange (LMX) model of leadership and the concept of shared leadership. Review the principles of servant leadership and discuss Level 5 leadership Leadership Learning Objectives Chapter Fourteen

Contemporary Trait Theories of Leadership Stogdill’s and Mann’s findings Intelligence Dominance Self-confidence Level of energy and activity Task-relevant knowledge Contemporary Trait Research People tend to perceive that someone is a leader when he or she exhibits traits associated with intelligence, masculinity, and dominance People want their leaders to be credible Credible leaders are honest, forward-looking, inspiring and competent

6 Men and women were seen as displaying more task and social leadership, respectively Women used a more democratic or participative style than men and men used a more autocratic and directive style than women Men and women were equally assertive Women executives, when rated by their peers, managers, and direct reports, scored higher than their male counterparts on a variety of effectiveness criteria Men displayed more laissez-faire leadership 14-2 McGraw-Hill © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

7 The Ohio State Studies: identified two critical dimensions of leader behavior. Consideration: creating mutual respect and trust with followers. Initiating structure: organizing and defining what group members should be doing. 14-3 McGraw-Hill © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

8 University of Michigan Studies identified two leadership styles that were similar to the Ohio State studies--one style was employee centered and the other was job centered The Leadership Grid © represents five leadership styles found by crossing concern for production and concern for people Impoverished management Country club management Authority-compliance Middle-of-the-road management Team management 14-4 McGraw-Hill © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

11 6. Focus on opportunities rather than problems. Do not sweep problems under the rug, and treat changes as an opportunity rather than a threat. 7. Run productive meetings. Different types of meetings require different forms of preparation and different results. Prepare accordingly. 8. Think and say “we” rather than “I”. Consider the needs and opportunities of the organization before thinking of your own opportunities and needs. 9. Listen first, speak last. 14-6 McGraw-Hill © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Fiedler’s Contingency Model The performance of a leader depends on two interrelated factors: The degree to which the situation gives the leader control and influence The leader’s basic motivation 14-7 McGraw-Hill © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

51  A meta-analysis of 18 studies indicated that employee satisfaction with change was higher when top management was highly committed to the change effort.  A meta-analysis of 52 studies provided support for the systems model of organizational change.  A meta-analysis of 126 studies demonstrated that multifaceted interventions using more than one OD technique were more effective in changing job attitudes and work attitudes than interventions that relied on only one human-process or technostructural approach.  A survey of 1,700 firms from China, Japan, the United States, and Europe revealed that 1) US and European firms used OD interventions more frequently than firms from China and Japan and 2) some OD interventions are culture free and some are not.

Can be time consuming, expensive, and still fail No other approach works as well with adjustment problems Where people are resisting because of adjustment problems Facilitation & Support Drawbacks Advantages Commonly used in situations Can be too expensive in many cases if alerts others to negotiate for compliance Sometimes it is a relatively easy way to avoid major resistance No other approach works as well with adjustment problems Negotiation & AgreementApproach McGraw-Hill © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Can lead to future problems if people feel manipulated It can be a relatively quick and inexpensive solution to resistance problems Where other tactics will not work or are too expensive Manipulation & Cooperation Drawbacks Advantages Commonly used in situations Can be risky if it leaves people mad at the initiators It is speedy and can overcome any kind of resistance Where speed is essential and where the change initiators possess considerable power Explicit & Implicit Coercion Approach McGraw-Hill © 2005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

76 Assessing Price Elasticity of Demand Section Home Section Home A measure of the sensitivity of demand to changes in price Price Elasticity Price Elasticity of Demand = (% Change In Quantity Demanded) % Change in Price

77 Elasticity Of Demand Figure 21.3

78 Price/Demand Elasticity Elastic- change in price causes opposite change in total revenue Price  = Total Revenue  Price  = Total Revenue  Inelastic- change in price causes same change in total revenue Price  = Total Revenue  Price  = Total Revenue 

79 Factors Affecting Elasticity Of Demand 1) Availability of substitutes- for example, can consumers replace coffee with tea for caffeine? 2) Amount of income available to spend on good- with an increase in price but on a fixed consumer income will the consumer be forced to buy less? 3) Time- over time will a consumer cutback/quit smoking if price of cigarettes goes up?

85 5.5. FACTORS THAT AFFECT PRICING DECISIONS Figure 21.8

86 Organizational And Marketing Objectives Set prices consistent with organization’s goals and mission Pricing decisions should be compatible with firm’s marketing objectives

87 Costs Why price below cost? Match competition Generate cash flow Increase market share Focus on cost reduction Costs shared with others in product line
