Document Summary
Leadership: the process of motivating, influencing, and directing others in the organization to work productively in pursuit of organization goals. What makes an effective leader: effective leadership: the ability of a leader to get high performance from his or her subordinates. They know how to use power to win over important constituencies to their cause and to remove or neutralize obstacles to their strategies. Limitations and implications: not all the traits are equally important, and there are certainly examples of effective leaders who do not possess all of these traits. Perhaps some traits are more critical in certain situations than others are: the importance of different traits for effective leadership, therefore, is context dependent. What works in one situation might not in another. The contingency perspective on leadership tries to address the idea that it all depends. Fiedler"s contingency theory: the best leadership behaviour to adopt depends on the context.
