  5. Leadership Behaviors • According to the University of Iowa leadership behaviors (or styles) are: • Autocratic Style: a leader who centralize authority, dictates work methods, makes unilateral decisions, and limits employee participation • Democratic Style: a leader who involves employees in decision making, delegates authority, encourages participation in deciding work methods, and uses feedback to coach employees • Laissez-Faire Style: a leader who generally gives employees complete freedom to make decisions and to complete their work however they see fit

  6. Different Leaders • According to University of Michigan: • Employee Oriented: a leader who emphasizes the people aspects • Production Oriented: a leader who emphasizes the technical or task aspects • Transactional Leaders: leaders who lead primarily by using social exchanges (or transactions) • Transformational Leaders: leaders who stimulate and inspire (transform) followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes

  7. Different Leaders • Charismatic Leaders: enthusiastic, self-confident leaders whose personalities and actions influence people to behave in certain ways • Visionary Leadership: the ability to create articulate a realistic, credible, and attractive vision of the future that improves on the present situation

  8. Trust • Trust: the belief on the integrity, character, and ability of a leader • Dimensions of trust: • Integrity: honesty and truthfulness • Competence: technical and interpersonal knowledge and skills • Consistency: reliability, predictability, and good judgement in handling situations • Loyalty: willingness to protect a person, physically and emotionally • Openness: willingness to share ideas and information freely

  9. Learning Outcomes • There are different approaches of defining leadership: trait, behavior, situational, and power-influence • Thus, we describe leaders differently, in terms of charisma, transformation, autocracy... etc. • Trust is the essence of leadership
