  2. Do you believe that leaders are born or made??? Theories of Leadership Types Trait: Leaders are born… prescribed leaders. What are some implications of trait theory? • Style theory: Behaviors that could be construed as unique leadership styles. What are implications of style theory? • Situational theory: The Fielder’s Contingency Model of Leadership—effective leadership happens with an ideal match between the leader and the work situation. • Functional theory: Learn to function in the capacity—Leadership is a job, not a person. • Transformational leadership theory: Leaders strive to transform followers.

  3. Types of Power • Reward – you get something you value! Dangle that carrot! • Coercive – Demote, discipline, or dismiss. “Punishment Power.” • Legitimate – The job dictates (elected official). • Expert – Assigned, but group must buy it! • Referent – Personal power derived from admiration and respect.

  4. Leadership • Designated versus emergent leaders. • Has someone in your group been designated as the leader? Has someone emerged as the leader? • Can a peer effectively lead?

  5. Leadership Styles • Concern for People: Team Management (interdependence), Country Club Management (comfortable, friendly) • Concern for Production: Impoverished Management (minimum effort fine), Authority-Compliance Management (human elements interfere!) • Middle of the Road Management (get work out, if morale happens, fine).

  6. Leadership or Leaderless? • What are the benefits of having a leader for the group? Drawbacks? • What are the benefits of having a leaderless group? Drawbacks? • Simple characteristics of good leaders: • Vision • Credibility • Communication Competence

  7. So, You Want to Emerge? • Talk early and often (and listen) • Know more (and share it) • Offer your opinion (and welcome disagreement) • Volunteer for meaningful roles (and follow through) • Remember, winners do things that losers are too “bothered” to do!

  8. You are IT! • Now you have responsibilities… • Facilitate meetings • Maintain cohesiveness • Manage conflict • Empower group members • Keep your pulse on the entire situation • Have foresight • Transform yourself from peer to leader
