authority as possible. The
manager does not consult
employees, nor are they
allowed to give any input.
Employees are expected to
obey orders without
receiving any explanations.
The motivation
environment is produced by
creating a structured set
of rewards and
punishments.

I want both of you to. . .


Adolf Hitler and his administration
were responsible for the deaths of
millions of Jewish people. Stalin
killed over 3 million people through
famines, executions and forced
labor. Castro is symbolic with having
control over Cuba's resources,
resulting in food rationing and
numerous attempts by residents to
flee the country.

The style has the following characteristics:


1. Manager seeks consultation on all major issues
and decisions.
2. Manager effectively delegate tasks to
subordinates and give them full control and
responsibility for those tasks.
3. Manager welcomes feedback on the results of
intiatives and the work environment.
4. Manager encourages others to become leaders
and be involved in leadership development.
Indra Nooyi
• “Leadership is hard to define
and good leadership even
harder. But if you can get
people to follow you to the
ends of the earth, you are a
great leader. As a leader, I
am tough on myself and I
raise the standard for
everybody; however, I am
very caring because I want
people to excel at what they
are doing so that they can
aspire to be me in the
future."
• Indra Nooyi in an interview
to CNBC in June 2008.
• As someone who has always aspired to build a company
committed to its people and to the world, I admire her
determination to achieve sustainability at an established
company like PepsiCo. And I believe that all socially responsible
companies could learn from Indra Nooyi's style of leadership."

Howard Schulz, president and CEO of Starbucks coffee company,


on presenting Nooyi the 2008 time 100 award.-
Narayana Murthy and Infosys
Narayana Murthy turned a
small software development
venture that he had set up
with his friends in 1981, into
one of the leading companies
of the country. Infosys grew
rapidly throughout the
1990s. He distributed the
company’s profits among the
employees through a stock
option program and adopted
the best corporate
governance practice.
LAISSEZ-FAIRE
This French phrase
means “leave it be”
and is used to
describe a leader
who leaves his/her
colleagues to get on
with their work.
The style is largely
a "hands off" view
that tends to
minimize the
amount of direction
and face time You two take care of the problem while I
required. go. . .

Styles , Now can you guess the leadership styles

• Leadership role: applies to people by provide inspiration, create
opportunities, energize people, and make key choices ; sending a value standard
messages to people which they then follow or use.

If you want to lead employees to very high performance, treat them with great
respect and not like robots, thus leading them to treat their work, their customers,
each other and their bosses with great respect.

• Management role: is how to (planning, organizing, directing, reporting,


budgeting…). Actually it is focused on effective deployment of resources, systems,

The Perfect Leader
A good leader uses all three styles, depending on what forces
are involved between the followers, the leader, and the
situation. Some examples include:
• Using an authoritarian style on a new employee who is just
learning the job. The leader is competent and a good coach. The
employee is motivated to learn a new skill. The situation is a new
environment for the employee.
• Using a participative style with a team of workers who know
their job. The leader knows the problem, but does not have all
the information. The employees know their jobs and want to
become part of the team.
• Using a delegative style with a worker who knows more about
the job than you. You cannot do everything! The employee needs
to take ownership of her job. Also, the situation might call for
you to be at other places, doing other things.
Forces that influence the style to be used included:

• How much time is available.


• Are relationships based on respect and trust or on
disrespect?
• Who has the information - you, your employees, or both?
• How well your employees are trained and how well you know
the task.
• Internal conflicts.
• Stress levels.
• Type of task. Is it structured, unstructured, complicated, or
simple?
