Section Literature Review The objective of the literature review would be to review the theoretical concepts relating to leadership styles and communication such as Leaders, Followers and Situation. This will enable the research to develop a conceptual model of the key factors that affect leadership style. This conceptual model will be used to analyze the current leadership style of the ease leader and any highlight any gaps that may assist the research to further develop a leadership and development plan to the case leader. adhering Styles In the first part of the research lets have a look at few of the leadership styles employed in the real world scenario.
Authoritarian Leadership (Autocratic) Participative Leadership (Democratic) Delegating (Laissez;Fairer) Leadership Transformational Leadership Authoritarian Leadership Authoritarian is also termed as autocratic leaders. Autocratic leaders provide clear goals in terms of what, when and how. What needs to be done? When it should be done. How it should be achieved. The clear gap between leaders and followers in authoritarian style is clearly visible. Authoritarian makes their own decision with little or no input from the rest of the group. The studies showed decision-making was less creative under authoritarian leadership and moving from authoritarian to democratic style was more difficult compared to other way around. This style dictates one as controlling, bossy, and dictatorial.
This style is best applied in the situation where there is less time in decision-making or where the leader is most knowledgeable member of the group(l_Owen, Lippie, & White, 1939). . 1 . 1 . Participative Leadership (Democratic) The research by Lenin found that Participative leadership style is effective leadership style in terms of quality. Democratic leaders offer guidance to group members, but they also participate in the group and allow input from other group members. In Linen’s study, children in this group were less productive than the members of the authoritarian group, but their contributions were of a much higher quality. Participative leaders relatively motivate group members to participate, but retain the final say over the decision-making process.
Group members feel engaged in the process and are more motivated and creative(Lenin, Lippie, & White, 1939). 1. 1 . 2. Delegating (Laissez-paired) Leadership Researchers found that leaders under this style imply “lack of leadership” or “hands-off’ approach to influence. Leaders do not actively participate in setting up goals, clarifying expectations, organizing priorities and becoming involved when leaders direction is required. The self-efficacy of the followers is relied upon themselves to take the important decision sans leader. The delegating leader is extremely passive and inactive in their approach, exulting in the expectant self-employment of the followers.
Frequent absence from the team meeting and lack of involvement are the methods employed by leaders to drive followers to self-management(Harper, 2012). 1. 1. 3. Transformational Leadership In this style of leadership, leader as a role model involve in establishing trust and confidence of the followers, based on their ability to motivate and to develop followers ability to contribute to the overall success and progress of the organization. Leader is considered as visionary, set up goals for an organization and helps in achieving those. This includes mentoring and empowering followers as a means of developing overall ability of the followers and helping them contribute more to the organization.
Followers are inspired to achieve more than what is expected from them, as the transformational leader defines the apparent need for change and drives the follower’s passion for organizational success by creating enhanced visions and monopolizing commitment to this vision, resulting in a transformation of the organization(Harper, 2012). Finally the above heading highlights the theoretical concepts related to different leadership styles and how the traders work for that particular solely. The following questions may assist the research to further discover the case organizations leaders leadership styles: IQ What leadership style you follow in your organization? Q How important it is to have good leadership style among organization leaders? Followers Most of us start in the organization as a follower. It is very rare that often one of us steps into the shoes of leadership position, without demonstrating his/ her characteristic of being good follower.
Successful follower comes in varied range of personal characteristics. We all must have seen loner who can’t get along with others for some reason but situation is relatively rare. For most of the part, all of us are followers at one time or another. To become a better followers there are some characteristic or traits one should have. Just as with leaders, motivation is the most important single factor. Which is most important ones ego or getting the job done? If follower is focused in achieving his/her goals in timely-manner, he/she should be good follower and perhaps, good leader someday (Campbell, 1997). There are also other characteristics for good followers.
Very few of us have got all the good characteristics for to be good follower and leaders in where ever role they are will have some of them well developed. Remember, changes in personality traits take years of consistent work. Personality: An outgoing style – enjoyment in working with others is a skill to have by anybody. Liking and respect for others is important assets one can posses. Being liked by others will definitely help in working in teams or any social situation. Dedication: Yes, this is absolute requirement. However, there may come a time when because the leader or the group is owning something illegal or immoral, you should not be loyal.
Prepared: A good follower needs to be knowledgeable about the groups’ goals. An effective follower should be both organized and prepared. Finally the above heading highlights the role of followers and characteristics to be good follower. The following questions may assist the research to further discover the case organizations leadership: IQ What is the traits of good followers? Q How do followers create good leaders? Situation The above figure shows how the leader, the follower and the context are interdependent on each other. All the components affect each other one-way or other. This means that to analyze and understand leadership process both contextual variables and the involved actors need to be considered.
The leaders’ as well as followers’ characteristics affect the process of communication between two parties, even if there often are higher expectations on the individual leader. The leader influences the process through their traits, skills, experience, role and style. Followers have an active role, as the leadership process is dependent on their characteristics and how they are grouped among themselves. The situation and organizational context is the last cog in the wheel that affects the leadership process. Besides how the actors influence each other, their practice is dependent on how the actors are able to analyze the leadership process and the current situation in the organization.
Communication is one Of the basic functions Of management in any organization and its importance can hardly be overemphasized. It is a process of transmitting information, ideas, thoughts, opinions and plans between leaders and follower of an organization. Communication is the process of conveying information from a sender to a achieve with the use of a medium in which both sender and receiver understand the communicated information the same way. Communication is important in an organization because it creates mutual understanding environment between the leader and follower. Directly, it also helps in increasing the organization productivity. IQ How to create effective communication between leaders and followers in an organization?

Leaders in Manchuria law firm have to concern about above soot analysis with followers and situational condition to minimize the risk of the great loss and help in communication. 2) Gap Analysis: The process through which an leaders compares its actual performance to its expected performance to determine whether it is meeting expectations and using its resources effectively with followers and the situation.
Gap analysis seeks to answer the questions “where are leaders? (Current state) and “where do they want to be? ” (Final state) Leaders need to be aware about gap analysis in the diagramed and need to maintain the gap from the current practice. adhering and change Management Plan documents and tracks the necessary information required to effectively manage project change from project inception to delivery. Strategy and scope: adhering and change Management Plan is created during the Planning Phase of the project. Its intended audience is the project manager, project team, project sponsor and any senior leaders whose support is needed to carry out the plan.

It can also be the point at which an assessment is dad about whether or not a proposed change should proceed. However, even in situations where change results from a directive and is therefore not subject to testing whether or not it should proceed, planning is still an important way to scope out the likely impacts Of the change and the strategies that can be used to accommodate them.
A good change planning process involves: Setting a clear vision for the change which is aligned with the organization’s vision and mission Documenting the case for change, and Developing the change plan. The starting point and focus of successful change planning is having a clear Sino about what the scope and impacts of the future changed state Will be.
