Leadership Theories and Styles - Dr David Parsons

  • Early days they were person focused - traits or skills of leadership
  • Move to more role focused in the 50's and 60's
    • behaviours
    • tasks
  • Process focused
    • how influence others
    • contexts and relationships
  • 7 theories
    • transactional - Burns - simple.  Leader approaches follower to exchange one thing for another
    • transformational - Burns - more complex, leader engages with followers motive and potential.  They empower the follower
    • pedagogical - NZ focused - educational.  Leaders establish an academic mission.  THey monitor and feedback on teaching an learning.  More than just the responsibility of the principal
    • distributed - more than just sharing, it is the collected interactions.  Situation provides context AND defines leadership
    • servant - Greenleaf - proven and trusted in servants.  Share awareness, listen, pursuasion etc.  Something involving a number of different styles.  Teaching uses - unleashing the talents of others
    • Tu Rangatira - NZ - different sytles - innovation and vision.  Stitches in the cloak of the leader - range of roles eg guardian, manager, visionary, learner, worker, networker, advocate.  Range of different styles.  Leadershp nand management are not the same 
    • situational - old theory. adapts to the maturity of the followers (experiences and capabiolities).  Followers are immature - adopt a directing approach but as they improve, you move through coaching, supporting and delegating.
  • Means - different theories encompass different sytles in practice.  Use a numbe rof styles
  • Early studies identified - Democratic, autocratic and permissive
  • More recent and more popular - coercive, authoritative, affiliative, democrati, pacesetting, coaching.  
  • Goleman linked to emotional intelligence
    • More styles the better.  4 most impt - authoritative, democratic, affilitative and coaching as most effective and can switch between them easily
  • Reinforces ideas that different styles can be used at once to meet the situation
