Leadership Across CulturesLeadership Across Cultures
Leadership styles MAY vary among different countries or cultures. European managers tend to be more people-
oriented than American or Japanese managers. Japanese managers are group-oriented and stress
process control while U.S managers focus more directly on performance and goal-achievement.
Time horizons (short versus long) also are affected by cultures.
But be careful about assuming cultural influence because experience in other cultures can change people.

Leadership ModelsLeadership Models
Trait Model Attempts to identify personal characteristics
that cause effective leadership.Research shows that certain personal
characteristics appear to be connected to effective leadership.
Many “traits” are the result of skills and knowledge and effective leaders do not necessarily possess all of them.

Leadership ModelsLeadership Models
Behavioral ModelConsideration: employee-centered leadership
behavior indicating that a manager trusts, respects and cares about subordinates
Initiating structure: job-oriented leadership behavior that managers engage in to ensure that work gets done, subordinates perform their jobs acceptably, and the organization is efficient and effective (example: forming a team)
Both behaviors are independent and managers can be high or low on either.

Contingency Models of Leadership Contingency Models of Leadership
Fiedler’s Model Effective leadership is contingent on both the
characteristics of the leader and of the situation. Leader style is the enduring, characteristic
approach to leadership that a manager uses and does not readily change. Relationship-oriented style: leaders concerned with
developing good relations with their subordinates and to be liked by them.
Task-oriented style: leaders whose primary concern is to ensure that subordinates perform at a high level so the job gets done.

Fiedler’s Model Fiedler’s Model
Situation Characteristics How favorable a situation is for leading to occur. Leader-member relations—determines how much
workers like and trust their leader. Task structure—the extent to which workers’ tasks
are clear-cut; clear issues make a situation favorable for leadership.
Position Power—the amount of legitimate, reward, and coercive power leaders have due to their position. When positional power is strong, leading is easier.

Fiedler’s Model in ApplicationFiedler’s Model in Application
Combines considerations of leader-member relations, task structure, and position power to identify leadership situations. Identifies situations where given types of
managers might perform best. Leadership style is a characteristic most managers
cannot change; managers will be most effective when placed in situations that suit their leadership style or that can be changed to suit their style.

House’s Path-Goal TheoryHouse’s Path-Goal Theory
A contingency model of leadership proposing that effective leaders can motivate subordinates by:
1. Clearly identifying the outcomes workers are trying to obtain from their jobs.
2. Rewarding workers with their desired outcomes in return for high performance and goal attainment
3. Clarifying the paths to goal attainment, removing obstacles, and expressing confidence in workers’ ability.

Motivating with Path-GoalMotivating with Path-Goal
Path-Goal identifies four leadership behaviors:1. Directive behaviors: set goals, assign tasks,
show how to do things.2. Supportive behavior: look out for the worker’s
best interest.3. Participative behavior: give subordinates a say in
matters that affect them.4. Achievement-oriented behavior: setting
challenging goals and believing in worker’s abilities.
Which to use depends on the nature of thesubordinates and the task.

The Leader Substitutes ModelThe Leader Substitutes Model
Leadership Substitute Acts in place of a leader, making leadership
unnecessary. Possible substitutes can be found in skilled, motivated subordinates or the extent to which work is interesting and fun.
Worker empowerment or self-managed work teams reduce leadership needs.
Managers should be aware that they do not always need to exert direct influence over workers. (DON’T MICRO-MANAGE). A good leader is always trying to work himself out of leadership and his people into it.

their jobs and performance to the organization by providing feedback.

Transactional LeadershipTransactional Leadership
Transactional Leaders Use their reward and coercive powers to
exchange rewards for performance and punish failure.
Push subordinates to change, but do not seem to change themselves.
Do not have the “vision” of a transformational leader.
Can be effective, but not the best way.

Gender and LeadershipGender and Leadership
The number of top-level women managers is rising but still relatively low Stereotypes (and some recent research) suggest
women are more supportive and concerned with interpersonal relations while men are more task-focused. Women may be perceived as more participative than men
because they adopt a participative approach to overcome resistance to them as managers.
ALTHOUGH STYLE MAY BE SOMEWHAT GENDER-RELATED, LEADERSHIP ITSELF IS NOT! SOME OF MY MOST EFFECTIVE LEADERS WERE WOMEN.
