What is Leadership?
*
What is Leadership?
Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy of a company
Leadership has nothing to do with titles
Leadership has nothing to do with personal attributes
Leadership isn’t management
*
What is Leadership?
Peter Drucker: "The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers“
Warren Bennis: "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality”
Jack Welch: “A leader is someone who has Energy; someone who can articulate a vision and inspire others to perform (Energizer); someone who can make difficult decisions (Edge); and someone who can deliver (Execute)”
Bill Gates: "As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others“
John Maxwell: "Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less"
*
What is Leadership?
Leadership is a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others, towards the achievement of a goal
Notice key elements of this definition:
Leadership stems from social influence, not authority or power
Leadership requires others, and that implies they don’t need to be “direct reports”
No mention of personality traits, attributes, or even a title; there are many styles, many paths, to effective leadership
It includes a goal, not influence with no intended outcome
*
What is Management?
The organization and coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve defined objectives
Management is often included as a factor of production along with machines, materials, and money. According to the management guru Peter Drucker (1909-2005), the basic task of management includes both marketing and innovation.

The History of
Bureaucratic Management
LO3
Bureaucracy
The exercise of control on the basis of knowledge, expertise, or experience.
Max Weber, 1864-1920
*
*
When we hear the term bureaucracy, we think of inefficiency and “red tape”, incompetence and ineffectiveness. However, when German sociologist Max Weber proposed the idea of bureaucratic organizations, monarchies were associated with these problems. Bureaucracy literally means to rule from a desk or office. In a bureaucracy, people would lead by virtue of rational-legal authority—from knowledge, expertise, and experience.
Bureaucratic Approach
Max Weber, 1864-1920
Chester I. Barnard

*
Cooperation and Acceptance

Securing essential services from individuals
Unifying people by clearly formulating an organization’s purpose and objectives
Providing a system of effective communication

The History of
Human Relations Management
Efficiency alone is not enough to produce
organizational success.
Success also depends on treating workers well.
*
*
Scientific management focuses on improving the efficiency of manufacturing facilities and their workers. Bureaucratic management focuses on using knowledge, fairness, and logical rules to increate the organization’s efficiency. Administrative management focuses on how and what managers should do in their jobs.
In contrast, the human relations approach to management focuses on the psychological and social aspects of work. People are valuable organizational resources whose needs are important.

Elton Mayo (1880 – 1949) – Hawthorne Studies
Abraham Maslow (1908 – 1970) – Hierarchy of Needs Theory
Douglas McGregor (1906 – 1964) – Theory X and Theory Y
Frederick Hertzberg (1923 – 2000) – Two Factor Theory

Constructive Conflict and Coordination: Mary Parker Follett
*
*
Follett is known for developing ideas regarding constructive conflict and coordination. She said that conflict is the appearance of difference, difference of opinions, of interests. Follett believed that managers could deal with conflict in three ways, as shown on this slide.
Domination is a victory of one side over the other.
Compromise involves both parties giving up some of what they want in order to reach agreement.
Integrative conflict resolution involves both parties indicating their preferences and then working together to find an alternative that meets the needs of both.

Hawthorne Studies:
Elton Mayo
Workers’ feelings and attitudes affected their work
Financial incentives weren’t the most important motivator for workers
Group norms and behavior play a critical role in behavior at work
*
*
Elton May’s ideas became popular during the twentieth century when labor unrest and protests were widespread in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Mayo's work proved relevant as managers looked for ways to increase productivity and to improve worker satisfaction and working conditions.

Material pertinent to this discussion is found under “Needs Theories of Motivation.”
Motivation-Hygiene Theory was proposed by psychologist Frederick Herzberg after investigating the question, “What do people want from their jobs?” Factors affecting job attitudes were tabulated and classified. Herzberg concluded that the replies people gave when they felt good about their jobs were significantly different from the replies given when they felt bad.

Criticisms of Motivation-Hygiene Theory
Procedure Herzberg used is limited by its methodology.
Reliability of Herzberg’s methodology is questioned.
Herzberg did not really produce a theory of motivation.
No overall measure of satisfaction was used.
The theory is inconsistent with previous research.
