Leadership password: how to become an outstanding leader
Hey, everybody! Let's talk today about chapter ii on human resources management for mid-level economists — the leadership behavior theory. This chapter is truly rich and covers leadership theories, types of leadership behaviour and decision-making processes. Let's see
Leadership quality theory
First of all, let's look at leadership quality theory. According to this theory, good leaders have some specific qualities. For example, gibert's specialty theory suggests that the leader should be strong, while stagdeer expands the quality. However, there are also shortcomings in this theory, such as the demand and circumstances of subordinates, which affect leadership effectiveness。
Trading and transformative leadership
This is followed by transactional and transformative leadership. Trading leadership is more passive and traditional, while transformative leadership is more proactive and stimulates the potential of subordinates. The byrnes classification also includes charismatic leadership, while robert house distinguishes between moral and immoral charismatic leadership。
Path-target theory
The path-target theory argues that leadership incentives are linked to factors such as the environment, the identity of subordinate individuals, etc. Fedler's theory of power change also refers to leadership in terms of orientation and relationship orientation, as well as contextual factors such as relationships, working structures and competencies。
Type of leadership behaviour
There are four main types of leadership behaviour: guidance, support, participation and achievement orientation. These types of acts have different effects in different contexts. For example, mentoring leads are more effective when mandates are clear, while participatory leadership is more effective when teamwork is needed。
Leadership-members exchange theory
The lmx theory argues that the quality of the relationship between leadership and membership has a significant impact on performance. The theory of x and the theory of y emphasize the management of the managers and staff centres, respectively, from the point of view of managers。
Ohio and michigan model
The ohio model focuses on both people of concern and work, while the michigan model evaluates leadership from staff and production orientations. The management equation theory provides a more specific framework, such as the country club style, the task style, the incompetence formula and the mediocrity formula。
Life cycle theory
The life cycle theory argues that leadership styles should be adapted to staff's work and psychological maturity. For example, the mentoring style is suitable for starters, the marketing style is suitable for potential employees, the participatory style is suitable for mature staff, and the enabling style is suitable for staff with high self-management competencies。
Leadership skills and decision-making processes
Leadership skills include technical, interpersonal and conceptual skills. The decision-making process involves multiple stages of intellectual, design and selection activities. The münzberg decision-making model distinguishes between rationality, limited rationality and social models。
Social models and decision-making style
Social models believe that decision-making is influenced by project characteristics, psychological determinants, social pressures and organizational determinants. Decision-making styles are divided into two dimensions of value orientation and fuzzy tolerance, such as guidance and analysis。
Summary
All right, that's it for today! It is hoped that this theoretical knowledge will contribute to a better understanding of leadership behaviour and decision-making. If you have any questions or ideas, please leave a message in the comment area! See you next time
