ATTITUDE
• Our Single greatest gift is the freedom to choose our

attitude. Your attitude is more important than knowledge,
education, background, wealth, position, talent or
appearance.
• It is even more powerful than what other people think or say
or do. It will make or break a team… a company…a person…a
relationship…a home.
• I am convinced that life is 5% what happens to me and 95%
how I choose to look and react to it. And so it is with you…
• Your attitude is your choice!

SIX LEADERSHIP STYLES
1. Transformational Leadership: A transformational leader appeals to a
follower's higher needs like fulfillment or justice. Under a transformational
approach, the leader and follower's drive and enthusiasm are increased
leaving both changed for the better.
2. Transactional Leadership: Transactional leadership is an exchange
type of style that deals with rewarding followers by meeting immediate
needs or doling out punishments. Under a transactional approach,
followers are either positively or negatively awarded for their actions.
3. Servant Leadership: In the business world, a servant leadership style can be
described as a boss or manager who removes roadblocks to help his
employees do their jobs or achieve great success. Qualities of the style
include listening, empathy, persuasion and a dedication to improving the
growth of followers.
3/15/2018 27
SIX LEADERSHIP STYLES
4. Emergent Leadership: An emergent leadership style depends
on an individual's ability to meet followers’ needs at a specific
point in time in the absence of a formally appointed leader or
an accepted leader.
5. Situational Leadership: Is defined by a leader's ability to
switch his/her approach based on the needs of followers.
There are four approaches to a situation leadership style:
telling, selling, participating and delegating. Followers who
are unwilling or unable to do a job require a telling approach.
6. Behavioral Leadership Styles: Three types of styles under the
behavioral umbrella are autocratic, democratic and laissez
faire.
3/15/2018 28
STYLES OF LS
• Autocratic ----- Directed style ---- It does
not take group input and rely on telling
followers what to do.
• Democratic ----- Participative ---- MBO ---
Democratic styles seek input from the group
though the final decision rests with the leader.
• Laissez-faire ------ Free – rein ----- Leaders
using a laissez faire approach are literally
hands off. They do not provide a lot of
direction and prefer to let the group do what it
will.

CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS
– Have you ever been the victim of a poor

leader?
– How do you feel about the good leaders
you have known?

Leadership and Environment
3/15/2018 31
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
• Leadership has been viewed as an acquired

competency, the product of many forces
• Leadership is seen as a social phenomenon,
not an individual trait
• This explains why leaders who are successful
in one situation fail in another

• Patterns of behavior deemed acceptable in

leaders differ from time to time and culture
to culture:
– Thus, the establishment of educational
institutions and curricula to impart and
reinforce the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
deemed important by a society or group

• Throughout history, male leaders have

outnumbered female leaders:
– Even the definition of “leader” is

a social phenomenon
– Edith Wilson ran the U.S. while her husband was
incapacitated, but history credits President Woodrow
Wilson as leader during that time
– Public recognition of Mrs. Wilson’s influence would
not have been in line with the norms of
the time © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education. This is
INTERACTION OF INDIVIDUAL &
ENVIRONMENT
• Leaders may emerge spontaneously in social

crises after filling anonymous roles for years
– Poland’s Lech Walesa went from shipyard worker to
national labor leader during the 1980s
• Innate abilities often unfold under certain
conditions
– External circumstances and internal qualities
interact to create a sudden, dramatic spurt of
performance © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education. This is
SATISFACTIONS OF LEADERS
1. A feeling of power and prestige

2. A chance to help others
3. High income
4. Respect and status
5. Opportunities for advancement
6. A feeling of being in a position of knowledge
7. An opportunity to control money and other
resources
FRUSTRATIONS OF LEADERS
1. Too much uncompensated work time

2. Too many problems
3. Not enough authority to carry out
responsibility
4. Loneliness
5. Too many problems involving people
6. Organizational politics
7. The pursuit of conflicting goals
Caring Leadership
Who and Why
3/15/2018 38
CARING LEADERSHIP
• Only when the leader cares will:

– Others care
– There be focus and energy for the work
to be done
• There are two aspects of caring leadership:

– Commitment to a task
– Concern for people

CARING LEADERSHIP
• Theodore Roosevelt advocates a life of engagement and

meaning:
• This means a personal commitment to accomplishing a goal
• Goals may be a one-time endeavor or a life’s work
• The goal may or may not be tangible
• The leader’s commitment becomes contagious, igniting the
emotions of all present
• Caring leadership also means caring about people
• The caring leader is unselfish, ready and eager to hear the other
person’s story
• He/she is dedicated to the service of others
• Concern for others results in loyalty and dedication to the
leader’s goals
CARING LEADERSHIP
• Both commitment to a goal and concern for

others must be present for caring leadership
to occur
– Without commitment, there is no passion
– Without concern, there is no loyalty
• When the leader cares, others become
focused and energized
– At this point direction and momentum develop
and great achievements are made
Role of Leadership

LEADERSHIP IN THE WORK SETTING

organizations are over-managed and under-led
– Too much emphasis on control
– Not enough on motivation and creativity
– Leaders need to be developed at all levels of responsibility

three management functions:
– Establishing a direction (planning)

To be successful, these processes require:

• Insight
• Decisiveness
• Courage
• Strength
• Resolve
• Diplomacy
• Management • Leadership is the
