Compare and contrast your initial depiction of leadership and your revised understanding.

Highlight the different theoretical approaches to leadership.

Leadership theories are used to influence the power of the team or group. It means that leaders do not need only power and position; it must have influencing power too. There are various theoretical approaches to the leadership that explores the various kinds of situational activities, and these approaches can be implemented in the particular situation of the organization. A few of the leadership theories had been recalled during this meeting as democratic, transactional and change management. It has also discussed several theories for the leadership based upon the historical approaches of the leadership as;

·         Global leadership

·         Contingency theories

·         “Great Man” Theory

·         Participative theory

·         Situational Theory

·         Contingency theories

·         Behavioral theories

·         Transactional theories   

These theories could be implemented by the leaders in different situations, which are used to boost up the motivation level of the team is working. In the deception of the above situation, there may be an implementation of tait theory and transformational theory, which focused on the influence of the leader in such a way to deal with the different behaviors in a different situation. However, the transformational theory is comprehensive and flexible other than the theories existing in the leadership (Vadivelan, 2018).

Outline how you have deepened your understanding and knowledge of leadership through collaboration.

As the working of the team is based on each other and all employees are allowed to take an active part in the opinion and work of the organization, therefore it is easy to implement the plans which are used to implement the plans according to the requirement of teamwork which is being conducted by the leaders. In this image where leaders want a similar and appropriate decision from his team in order to make a particular decision on similar issues. According to my thoughts, the democratic leadership style leads towards the collaborative teams’ work and under this option, the leader needs collaboratively to put forward ideas & assisting in the final product. It is better to implement the best plan of sharing ideas with the employees.
