1 Business Management

2  In management, leadership means providing direction and vision for a company.  Being a manager is not the same thing as being a leader.  Managing is a job. Leading is a skill.  Leaders have a vision and a plan to achieve the vision.

3 There are four basic styles of leadership:  Autocratic  Democratic  Free Rein or Hands Off  Self Managed Teams

4  Autocratic means “self ruling”; when you like to run everything yourself and answer to no one.  Assume people don’t like to work, they avoid responsibility, and have to be watched all the time.  Control workers through fear and intimidation.  Most people don’t like to work for autocratic leaders.

5  Democratic leadership means that managers and employees work together to make decisions.  Assumes that people want to work by showing workers that the leadership has confidence in them.

6 Free-Rein Leadership requires that leader to set goals for managers and employees and then leave them to get it completed.

7 Giving managers and employees the power to run things and make decision is called delegating. Reasons for a leader to delegate are:  Don’t have time to do everything yourself.  Can focus on more important work.  Involves employees.  Gives employees a chance to develop their own potential. When you choose to delegate power, it is a true test of you leadership skill.

8  Many businesses put workers on self-managed teams, or work groups that supervise themselves.  Allowing teams to manage themselves, businesses are able to absolve managing jobs and replace them with team leaders.  Leader is a team player rather than a boss and doesn’t have to answer to upper management.  Team is more goal-oriented than task-oriented.

9 Organized in two ways: 1. Each team member has a special skill, or 2. The team selects one team leader.

10 Team Leader:  Makes decisions for the team.  Provides motivation and values the contributions of all members of the team. Advantages:  Goal-oriented  Faster and more efficient.  Team members have a chance to learn other jobs and obtain new skills.  Simplifies the decision-making process.  Team members learn to participate and cooperate with each other.  Learn to solve own problems.

11  Self-Managed teams is the most difficult type of leadership style.  It should only be implemented after employees have been trained and management has evidence that the employees can work effectively and efficiently in this leadership style.
