Describe participative leadership, authoritarian
leadership, the Leadership Grid, situational
leadership, and entrepreneurial styles
of leadership.
Leadership style is the typical pattern of behavior
that a leader uses to influence employees to achieve
organizational goals. Participative leaders share
decision making with the group. One subtype of par-
ticipative leader is the consultative leader, who
involves subordinates in decision making but retains
final authority. A consensus leader also involves
subordinates in decision making and bases the final
decision on group consensus. A democratic leader
confers final authority on the group. Autocratic lea-
ders attempt to retain most of the authority.
The Leadership Grid classifies leaders according
to how much concern they have for both results and
people. Sound management, with its high emphasis
on results and people, is considered the ideal.
The Situational Leadership II model explains
how to match the leadership style to the capabilities
of group members on a given task. The basic prem-
ise of SLII is that the basis for effective leadership is
managing the relationship between a leader and a
subordinate on a given task. Effective leaders
adapt to the level of commitment and competence
of a subordinate. The leader adjusts the amount of
supporting and directing, which results in the four
leadership styles shown in Exhibit 10-5.
Entrepreneurial leaders often have a strong
achievement need, high enthusiasm and creativity,
and a visionary perspective. They are uncomfortable
with hierarchy and bureaucracy, often because they
focus their energies on products, services, and
customers.
