question

Skills Approach

answer

Similar to trait approach because it is leader-centered; Emphasizes skills and abilities that can be learned and developed; Knowledge and abilities are more important than personality and traits; Became popular after Robert Katz's 1955 article, "Skills of an Effective Administrator," in Harvard Business Review; Revitalized in the early 1990's with research that led to a comprehensive skill-based model of leadership that was advanced by Mumford, Zaccaro, Harding, Jacobs, & Fleishman 2000; Yammarino, 2000)

question

Leadership skills under the Skills Approach

answer

The ability to use one's knowledge and competencies to accomplish a set of goals and objectives

question

Katz's 3 basic administrative skills

answer

1 Technical 2 Human 3 Conceptual

question

Mumford's Skills based model of organizational leadership

answer

This model has five components: competencies, individual attributes, leadership outcomes, career experiences, and environmental influences. At the heart of the model are the 3 competencies: problems solving skills, social judgment skills, and knowledge. These three competencies are the central determinants of effective problem solving and performance, although individual attributes, career experiences, and environmental influences all have impacts on leader competencies. Through job experience and training, leaders can become better problem solvers and more-effective leaders.

question

Skills Approach Strengths

answer

First approach to conceptualize and create a structure of the process of leadership around skills; Describing leadership in terms of skills makes leadership available to everyone; Provides an expansive view of leadership that incorporates wide variety of components (i.e., problem-solving skills, social judgment skills); Provides a structure consistent with leadership education programs

question

Skills Approach Criticisms

answer

Breadth of the skills approach appears to extend beyond the boundaries of leadership, making it more general/less precise; Weak in predictive value; does not explain how skills lead to effective leadership performance; Skills model includes individual attributes that are trait-like

question

Style Approach Strengths

answer

marked a major shift in leadership research from exclusively trait focused to include behaviors and actions of leaders; Broad range of studies on leadership style validates and gives credibility to the basic tenets of the approach; At conceptual level, a leader's style is composed of two major types of behaviors: task and relationship; heuristic - leaders can learn a lot about themselves and how they come across to others by trying to see their behaviors in light of the task and relationship dimensions

question

Style Approach Criticisms

answer

Research has not adequately demonstrated how leaders' styles are associated with performance outcomes; No universal style of leadership that could be effective in almost every situation; Implies that the most effective leadership style is High-High style (i.e., high task/high relationship); research finding support is limited

question

Situational Approach

answer

Developed by Hersey and Blanchard (1969a) and based on Reddin's (1967) 3-D management style theory.; Leaders match their style to the competence and commitment of subordinates; Focuses on leadership in situations; Emphasizes adapting style - different situations demand different kinds of leadership; Used extensively in organizational leadership training and development

question

Comprised of both a Directive (task) dimension & Supportive (relationship) dimension:

answer

-Each dimension must be applied appropriately in a given situation-Leaders evaluate employees to assess their competence and commitment to perform a given task

question

Centered on the idea subordinates vacillate along the developmental continuum of competence and commitment; Leader effectiveness depends on

answer

--assessing subordinate's developmental position, and -adapting his/her leadership style to match subordinate developmental level

question

2 tasks of the leader in the situational leadership model:

answer

1. Diagnose the Situation (D1,D2, D3, D4) 2. Adapt the leadership style (directing, coaching, supporting, delegating) The leadership style should correspond to the employees development level

question

Situational Leadership Strengths

answer

Marketplace approval. Situational leadership is perceived as providing a credible model for training employees to become effective leaders.; Practicality. Situational leadership is a straightforward approach that is easily understood and applied in a variety of settings.; Prescriptive value. Situational leadership clearly outlines what you should and should not do in various settings.; Leader flexibility. Situational leadership stresses that effective leaders are those who can change their style based on task requirements and subordinate needs.; Differential treatment. Situational leadership is based on the premise that leaders need to treat each subordinate according to his/her unique needs.

question

Situational Leadership Criticisms

answer

Lack of an empirical foundation raises theoretical considerations regarding the validity of the approach; Further research is required to determine how commitment and competence are conceptualized for each developmental level; Conceptualization of commitment itself is very unclear; Replication studies fail to support basic prescriptions of situational leadership model

question

Contingency theory

answer

is a leader-match theory (Fiedler & Chemers, 1974)-Tries to match leaders to appropriate situations; Leader's effectiveness depends on how well the leader's style fits the context; Fiedler's generalizations about which styles of leadership are best and worst are based on empirically grounded generalizations; Effective leadership depends on matching a leader's style to the right setting; Assessment based on:-Leadership Styles-Situational Variables

question

Contingency Theory Leadership Styles

answer

Fielder developed the Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) scale to describe a leader on two categories (relational and task)

question

Task-motivated (Low LPCs)

answer

-Leaders are concerned primarily with reaching a goal

question

Relationship-motivated (High LPCs)

answer

- Leaders are concerned with developing close interpersonal relationships

question

3 Situational Variables for Contingency Theory

answer

1. Leader-Member Relations - Refers to the group atmosphere and the degree of confidence, loyalty, and attraction of followers for leader (Group atmosphere - Good -Poor) 2. Task Structure-Concerns the degree to which requirements of a task are clear and spelled out (High Structure-Low Structure) 3.Position Power-Designates the amount of authority a leader has to reward or punish followers (Strong Power - Weak Power)

question

Reasons for leader mismatch ineffectiveness:

answer

1. LPC style doesn't match a particular situation; stress and anxiety result 2. Under stress, leader reverts to less mature coping style learned in earlier development 3. Leader's less mature coping style results in poor decision making and consequently negative work outcomes

question

Contingency Theory Strengths

answer

Empirical support. Contingency theory has been tested by many researchers and found to be a valid and reliable approach to explaining how to achieve effective leadership.; Broadened understanding. Contingency theory has broadened the scope of leadership understanding from a focus on a single, best type of leadership (e.g., trait approach) to emphasizing the importance of a leader's style and the demands of different situations.; Predictive. Because Contingency theory is predictive, it provides relevant information regarding the type of leadership that is most likely to be effective in particular contexts.; Not an all-or-nothing approach. Contingency theory contends that leaders should not expect to be effective in every situation; thus companies should strive to place leaders in optimal situations according to their leadership style.; Leadership profiles. Contingency theory supplies data on leadership styles that could be useful to organizations in developing leadership profiles for human resource planning.

question

Contingency Theory Criticisms

answer

Fails to fully explain why leaders with particular leadership styles are more effective in some situations than others; Criticism of LPC scale validity as it does not correlate well with other standard leadership measures; Cumbersome to use in real-world settings; Fails to adequately explain what should be done about a leader/situation mismatch in the workplace

question

Path-Goal Theory

answer

Developed by House in 1971; Defined as... centers on how leaders motivate subordinates to accomplish designated goals; Emphasizes the relationship between...the leaders style, the characteristics of the subordinates, &the work setting; Goal - To enhance employee performance and satisfaction by focusing on employee motivation; Motivational Principles (based on Expectancy Theory) - Subordinates will be motivated if they believe: 1. they are capable of performing their work2. that their efforts will result in a certain outcome 3. that the payoffs for doing their work are worthwhile; The leader must Use a Leadership Style that best meets subordinates motivational needs

question

In Path-Goal leadership generates motivation when...

answer

It increases the number and kinds of payoffs subordinates receive from their work; Makes the path to the goal clear and easy to travel through with coaching and direction; Removes obstacles and roadblocks to attaining the goal; Makes the work itself more personally satisfying

question

Path-Goal Strengths

answer

Useful theoretical framework. Path-goal theory is a useful theoretical framework for understanding how various leadership behaviors affect the satisfaction of subordinates and their work performance.; Integrates motivation. Path-goal theory attempts to integrate the motivation principles of expectancy theory into a theory of leadership.; Practical model. Path-goal theory provides a practical model that underscores and highlights the important ways leaders help subordinates.

question

Path-Goal Criticisms:

answer

Interpreting the meaning of the theory can be confusing because it is so complex and incorporates so many different aspects of leadership; consequently, it is difficult to implement.; Empirical research studies have demonstrated only partial support for path-goal theory.; It fails to adequately explain the relationship between leadership behavior and worker motivation.; treats leadership as a one-way event in which the leader affects the subordinate.

question

Leader-member exchange (LMX) theory:

answer

-conceptualizes leadership as a process that is centered on the interactions between a leader and subordinates; Originally referred to as the Vertical Dyad Linkage (VDL) theory by ; Dansereau, Graen (1975), Graen (1976), and Graen & Cashman (1975); makes the dyadic relationship between leaders and followers the focal point of the leadership process; challenges the assumption that leaders treat followers in a collective way, as a group. - LMX - Directed attention to the differences that might exist between the leader and each of his/her followers

question

Early LMX Studies:

answer

called - Vertical Dyad Linkage (VDL)-Focus on the vertical linkages leaders formed with each of their followers-Leader's relationship to a work unit viewed as a series of vertical dyads

question

LMX Researchers found two general types of linkages (or relationships)

answer

- in-Group & out-group

question

In-Group

answer

- more information, influence, confidence & concern from Leader - more dependable, highly involved & communicative than out-group

question

Out-Group

answer

- less compatible with Leader - usually just come to work, do their job & go home

question

Later Studies of LMX (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1995)

answer

Initial research primarily addressed differences between in-groups and out-groups; later research addressed how LMX theory was related to organizational effectiveness; Later research focus on the quality of leader-member exchanges resulting in positive outcomes for: -Leaders -Followers -Groups - Organizations in general

question

Three phases of leadership making which develops over time (in LMX):

answer

stranger phase; acquaintance phase; mature partnership phase

question

How does LMX work?

answer

2 Ways: Descriptive and Prescriptive (both focus on the dyadic relationship)

question

LMX Descriptively:

answer

It suggests that it is important to recognize the existence of in-groups & out-groups within an organization; Significant differences in how goals are accomplished using in-groups vs. out-groups; Relevant differences in in-group vs. out-group behaviors

question

LMX Prescriptively:

answer

Best understood within the Leadership Making Model (Graen & Uhl-Bien) -Leader forms special relationships with all subordinates -Leader should offer each subordinate an opportunity for new roles/responsibilities; Leader should nurture high-quality exchanges with all subordinates -Rather than concentrating on differences, leader focuses on ways to build trust & respect with all subordinates - resulting in entire work group becoming an in-group

question

LMX Strengths:

answer

validates our experience of how people within organizations relate to each other and the leader; is the only leadership approach that makes the dyadic relationship the centerpiece of the leadership process; directs our attention to the importance of communication in leadership; Solid research foundation on how the practice of the theory is related to positive organizational outcomes

question

LMX Criticisms

answer

Inadvertently supports the development of privileged groups in the workplace; appears unfair and discriminatory; The basic theoretical ideas of the theory are not fully developed •How are high-quality leader-member exchanges created? •What are the means to achieve building trust, respect, and obligation? What are the guidelines?; Because of various scales and levels of analysis, measurement of leader-member exchanges is being questioned

Focuses on whether the leadership is genuine or "real"; New form of theory, so it is still in the formative years; Established as a theory in part due to the problems and ethical failures of our time (Enron, WorldCom, 9/11); First identified by those in transformational leadership (Bass 1990; Bass & Steidlmeier 1999; Burns, 1978; Howell & Avolio 1993); Defined using 3 different viewpoints: intrapersonal, developmental, and interpersonal; Intrapersonal - Defines authentic leadership based on the leaders' self-concepts and how these self-concepts are related to their actions (Shamir and Eilam 2005); Developmental - Defines authentic leadership as something that can be nurtured in a leader, rather than as a fixed trait (Avolio & Gardner 2005;Gardner, Avolio & Walumbwa 2005; Walumbwa, Avolio, Gardner, Wernsing, & Peterson 2008); Interpersonal - Defines authentic leadership as relational, created by leaders and followers together (Eagly 2005)

question

Women & Leadership

answer

Primarily concerned with two research questions: 1 "Are there leadership style and effectiveness differences between women and men?" 2 "Why are women underrepresented in elite leadership roles?"

question

Gender and Leadership Styles:

answer

- Mainstream researchers such as (Book 2000, Helgesen 1990, Rosener) assert that there are differences in leadership styles between men and women, and that women are more effective in modern society - Other academic researchers have a greater diversity in their views; in fact, many argue that gender has little or no relationship to leadership style and effectiveness (Dobbins & Platz 1986, van Engen, Leeden, & Willemsen 2001, Powell 1990) - Eagly & Johnson (1990) found that the only robust gender difference found across settings was that women led in a more democratic, or participative, manner than men - Another study by Eagly, Johannesen-Schmidt, and van Engen (2003) found small but robust differences between female and male leaders on leadership style. They found that women tend to be more transformational than men.

question

Gender and Leadership Effectiveness:

answer

- In a meta-analysis comparing the effectiveness of female and male leaders, men and women were equally effective leaders, overall, but there were gender differences such that women and men were more effective in leadership roles that were congruent with their gender (Eagly, Karau, & Makhijani 1995) - The same research found that women experience slight disadvantages when they are in masculine leader roles, whereas roles that are more feminine offer them some advantages - Additionally, women exceed men in the use of democratic or participatory styles, and they are more likely to use transformational leadership behaviors and contingent reward

question

The glass ceiling

answer

- Introduced in 1986 (in Wall Street Journal) as a metaphor to describe the limits women faced in corporate America

question

Alice Eagly and Linda Carli expanded the "glass ceiling" metaphor to include three explanations:

answer

1 Human capital differences 2 Prejudice 3 Gender Differences

question

Leadership Labyrinth

answer

Women are "navigating" the it by changing role definitions, negotiating, starting their own ventures, becoming transformational leaders

question

Women & Leadership Studies Strengths:

answer

- A consideration of the effects of gender on leadership has important implications for a comprehensive understanding of leadership - Research on gender and leadership is productive in both dispelling myths about the gender gap and shining light on aspects of the gender barriers that are difficult to see and therefore are often overlooked. - Understanding the many components of the labyrinth will give us the tools necessary to c combat this inequality from many perspectives, including individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal approaches.

question

Women & Leadership Studies Criticisms:

answer

- Issues of gender and leadership can be subsumed under a more general topic of leadership and diversity. - Much of the research examining gender in leadership has taken place in Western contexts.

question

Cultural Leadership Strengths

answer

v GLOBE study is a major study and, to date, the only study to analyze how leadership is viewed by cultures in all parts of the world. vFindings from GLOBE are valuable because they emerge from a well-developed quantitative research design.vGLOBE studies provide a classification of cultural dimensions that is more expansive than the commonly used Hofstede classification system.vGLOBE studies provide useful information about what is universally accepted as good and bad leadership.vThe study of culture and leadership underscores the complexity of the leadership process and how it is influenced by culture.

question

Cultural Leadership Criticisms:

answer

vResearch does not provide a clear set of assumptions and propositions that can form a single theory about the way culture relates to leadership or influences the leadership process. vLabels and definitions of cultural dimensions and leadership behaviors are somewhat vague, difficult at times to interpret or fully comprehend the findings about culture and leadership. vThis study focuses on what people perceive to be leadership and ignores a large body of research that frames leadership in terms of what leaders do (e.g., transformational leadership, path-goal theory, skills approach). vResearchers in the GLOBE study measured leadership with subscales that represented a very broad range of behaviors and as a result compromised the precision and validity of the leadership measures.vThe GLOBE studies tend to isolate a set of attributes that are characteristic of effective leaders without considering the influence of the situational effects.

question

Ethical Leadership

answer

One of the earliest writings that specifically focused on leadership ethics appeared as recently as 1996 - The earliest research was a loose group of papers brought together by the W.K. Kellogg - Foundation, and the works were published in Ethics, the Heart of Leadership (Ciulla 1998) - Key works exploring ethical leadership are Aronson, 2001; Ciulla 2001,2003; Johnson 2005; Kanungo 2001; Trevino, Brown, & Hartman 2003. - Northouse identifies respect, service, justice, honesty, and community as key principles of ethical leadership - Ethical leadership dates back to Plato and Aristotle - It is concerned with the kinds of values and morals an individual or society finds desirable and appropriate - is concerned with what leaders do and who they are - is central to leadership because of the nature of the process of influence, the need to engage followers in accomplishing mutual goals, and the impact leaders have on the organization's values

question

Heifetz's Ethical Perspective:

answer

Based on analysis of world leaders - leadership involves the use of authority to help followers deal with the conflicting values that emerge in rapidly changing work environments and social cultures. - He speaks directly to the values of workers.

question

Burn's Ethical Perspective:

answer

- transformational leadership places a strong emphasis on follower's needs, values, and morals - His emphasis on transformational leadership is different than most approaches because it clearly states that leadership has a moral dimension - is rooted in the works of Maslow, Rokeach, and Kohlberg.

question

Greenleaf's Ethical Perspective

answer

- In the early 1970's, Robert Greenleaf developed a somewhat paradoxical approach to leadership called servant leadership. - This form of leadership had altruistic ethical overtones, and emphasized that leaders should be attentive to the concerns of their followers and should empathize with them, care for them, and nuture them. - was inspired by Herman Hesse's 1956 novel, The Journey to the East - Servant leadership has not been uniformly defined, and there are several authors that are writing in this field.

question

Ethical Leadership Strengths

answer

It provides a body of timely research on ethical items (needed due to many ethical failures) - There is a lack of an ethical dimension in many leadership theories (with the exception of authentic and transformational leadership, etc.) - The body of research highlights several principles that are important to the development of ethical leadership

question

Ethical Leadership Criticisms

answer

It is in the early stages of development, and therefore it lacks a strong body of traditional research findings to substantiate it - Leadership ethics today relies primarily on the writings of just a few people who have written essays and texts that are strongly influenced by their personal opinions about he nature of leadership ethics and their worldviews.
