managerial grid and who created it?

(Blake and Mouton) a 2 dimensional grid for appraising leadership styles - Measures concern for people (scale of 1-9) - Measures concern for production (scale of 1-9) Concluded that leaders performed best with a 9,9 style

Levels of the Managerial Grid

(Concern for Production, Concern for People) (1,9) Country Club Management (9,1) Task Management (1,1) Impoverished Management (5,5) Middle of the road Management (9,9) Team Management

Situational Leadership theory (SLT)

(Hersey and Blanchard) Directive vs. supportive behavior (task vs. relationship) focusses on follower's readiness. Leaders should adjust their leadership styles in accordance with the readiness of their followers. - acceptance (willing): the followers accept or reject the leader, regardless of what the leader does, so the group's effectiveness depends on the actions of the followers - readiness (able): extent to which people have the ability and willingness to accomplish a specific task 4 levels of behavior: Telling, Selling, Participating, Delegating

Leadership Frameworks by Rensis Likert

- Exploitative-authoritative - Benevolent-authoritative (paternalistic) - Consultative - Participative

4 specific leadership styles of SLT (Situational Leadership Theory)

- Telling/Directing (high task - low relationship) leader defines roles and tells people what, how, when, and where to do various tasks - Selling/Coaching (high task - high relationship) leader provides both directive and supportive behavior - Participating/Supporting (low task - high relationship) leader and followers share in decision making and the main role of the leader is facilitating and communicating - Delegating (low task - low relationship) leader provides little direction or support

What are the leader behaviors identified in the path-goal theory?

- directive: Lets employees know what is expected of them, schedules work, and gives specific guidance as to how to accomplish tasks - supportive: Is friendly and shows concern for the needs of employees - participative: Consults with employees and uses their suggestions before making a decision - achievement-oriented: Sets challenging goals and expects employees to perform at their highest levels

Employee or relationship oriented behaviors

- knowing employees as people - awareness of employee concerns/issues - establishing caring relationships - helping subordinates be successful

outcomes of the 3 leadership styles on the continuum

- laissez-faire: ineffective - autocratic/democratic: equal in terms of producing quantity if work - democratic: most effective in terms of QUALITY work and group SATISFACTION

3 contingency dimensions

- leader/member relations: degree of trust and respect employees have for leaders (good/poor) - task structure: degree to which job assignments are formalized/structured (high/low) - position power: degree of influence leader has over activities such as hiring/firing, discipline, promotions, salary increases (strong/weak) these 3 combined created 8 possible situations. Good, High, Strong was highly favorable while poor, low, weak was highly unfavorable

Larry Spears definition of servant leadership

- non-hierarchical - non-autocratic - focussed on growing people - focused quality and caring - teamwork-oriented - community-oriented - ethical behavior encourages collaboration, trust, foresight, listening, ethics, and influence

Task or work focused behaviors

- structuring work and work methods - making assignments - setting goals - dispensing rewards and punishments - decision making

What does the continuum of leadership styles tell us?

According to research by Tennenbaum and Schmidt, leadership behaviors range all the way from boss-centered (autocratic) to employee-centered (democratic) to Laissez-faire. Democratic can be either consultative or participative Concluded that managers should move toward more employee-centered styles in the long run because of the positive influence such behavior would have of the following: the motivation, decision quality, teamwork, morale, and development of employees.

Who made the managerial grid?

Traits associated with leadership

Drive, Desire to lead, Honesty and Integrity, Self-Confidence, Intelligence, Job-Relevant knowledge, extraversion, proneness to guilt

supportive leader

Is friendly and shows concern for the needs of employees

Who created the 3 BASIC leadership styles

Kurt Lewin

directive leader

Lets employees know what is expected of them, schedules work, and gives specific guidance as to how to accomplish tasks

Consultative System

Motivation of workers is gained through rewards, occasional punishments, and very little involvement in making decisions and goals. Lower-level employees, in this system, have the freedom to make specific decisions that will affect their work. Communication in this system flows both downward and upward, though upward is more limited. Lower-level employees are seen as consultants to decisions that were made and are more willing to accept them because of their involvement. Satisfaction and productivity in this system improves from benevolent authoritative.

Who made the situational leadership theory?

Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard

idealized influence

Provides a role model for high ethical behavior, instills pride, gains respect and trust.

4 stages of follower readiness

R1: unable and unwilling R2: unable but willing R3: able but unwilling R4: able and willing

University of Michigan study and who performed it?

Rensis Likert - to see what leads to productivity and job satisfaction - Employee oriented: emphasizes interpersonal relationships and taking care of employee's needs - production oriented: emphasizes technical or task aspects of job, concerned mainly with accomplishing tasks concluded that employee-oriented leaders were associated with high group productivity and higher job satisfaction

Who made the path-goal theory?

Robert House

Path-goal theory

Robert J. House (leader's behavior is contingent to satisfaction, performance and motivation) leader's job is to assist followers in attaining their goals and to provide direction or support needed to ensure that their goals are compatible with the organization's as a group's goals (assumes leaders are flexible) - characteristics of subordinates: locus of control, work experience, ability, and the need for affiliation - environmental characteristics: nature of the task, the formal authority system, and the nature of the work group 4 different leader behaviors: directive, supportive, participative, achievement-oriented

achievement-oriented leader

Sets challenging goals and expects employees to perform at their highest levels

Who developed the CONTINUUM of leadership styles?

Tannenbaum and Schmidt

Relationships between leadership styles and follower readiness

Telling -> unable and unwilling Selling -> unable but willing Participating - > able but unwilling Delegating -> able and willing

Ohio State study

Test how consideration and initiating structure affect performance and satisfaction. consideration - showing concern for individual group members' ideas and feelings initiating structure - structuring work and work relationships to meet job goals/planning, organizing, and coordinating the work of subordinates high-high leadership achieved high subordinate performance and satisfaction, but not in all situations. There was no consistent relationship between consideration or initiating structure with effectiveness

Participative System

This system promotes genuine participation in making decisions and setting goals through free-flowing horizontal communication and tapping into the creativity and skills of workers. Managers are fully aware of the problems that go on in the lower-levels of the organization. All organizational goals are accepted by everyone because they were set through group participation. There is a high level of responsibility and accountability of the organizational goals in all of the employees. Managers motivate employees through a system that produces monetary awards and participation in goal setting. Satisfaction among employees is the highest out of the four systems as is production.

Least-preferred coworker (LPC) questionnaire

measures whether a leader was task or relationship oriented - task oriented leaders were more effective when situation either highly favorable/unfavorable - person oriented leaders were more effective when situation moderately favorable/unfavorable If the leader described the least preferred coworker in relatively positive terms, then the leader was primarily interested in good personal relations with coworkers/relationship oriented. In contrast, if the leader saw the least preferred coworker in relatively unfavorable terms, then that leader was primarily interested in productivity/task oriented. > 64 is relationship oriented < 57 task oriented small amount of people fall in the middle Found not very practical
