4. The differences between
leadership and management
They are linked and compliment each other
yet they do not act in the same manner
The manager is responsible for planning and
managing the group
The leader is responsible for building
relationships.
6. Autocratic Leadership Style
Autocratic leadership, also known as
authoritarian leadership, is a leadership
style characterized by individual control
over all decisions and little input from group
members. Autocratic leaders typically make
choices based on their own ideas and
judgments and rarely accept advice from
followers.
7. Bureaucratic Leadership Style
Managers refer to the rule book when making
decisions
Is effective in a stable environment
Definite procedures need to be followed
8. Democratic Leadership Style
Democratic leaders make the final decisions, but
they include team members in the decision-making
process. They encourage creativity and team
members are often highly engaged in projects and
decisions.
9. Laissez-faire Leadership Style
The phrase laissez-faire is French and
translates into ‘let it be’.
It describes leaders who allow their people to
work on their own. This type of leadership can
also occur naturally when managers do not
have sufficient control over their workforce.
10. Trait Theory
The measurement of consistent patterns of
habit in an individual's behavior, thoughts, and
emotions. The theory is based on the stability
of traits over time, how they differ from other
individuals, and how they will influence
human behaviour.
13. Leadership and Management
Henri Fayol (Istanbul, 29 July 1841 – Paris, 19
November 1925) was a French mining engineer
and director of mines who developed a
general theory of business administration.
14. Functions of Management:
Planning: setting a strategy
Organizing: preparing resources to achieve
given objectives
Commanding: instructing individuals to
perform certain duties
Coordinating: bringing together the resources
Controlling: having power over the situation
16. The Meaning of Motivation
Motivation is a factor that influences a person in the
workplace.
If managers motivate their employees, company
goals become easier to achieve.
17. Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic motivation occurs when someone
gains satisfaction from an activity without
experiencing any threats from outside.
18. Students are likely to be intrinsically
motivated if they:
Attribute their educational results to factors
under their own control, also known as
autonomy.
Believe they have the skills to be effective
agents in reaching their desired goals, also
known as self-efficacy beliefs.
Are interested in mastering a topic, not just in
achieving good grades.
19. Extrinsic Motivation
Extrinsic motivation refers to the performance
of an activity in order to attain an
outcome, whether or not that activity is also
intrinsically motivated. Extrinsic motivation
comes from outside of the individual.
20. Abraham Maslow
Maslow is famous for proposing a hierarchy of
human needs to explain motivation.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often displayed in
the shape of a pyramid with the largest, most
fundamental levels of needs at the bottom and
the need for self-actualization at the top.
23. Theory X
Theory X assumes employees are lazy, and so
there should be a practice of motivation and
disciplined work.
This close supervision is best achieved through
a tall organizational structure.
24. Theory Y
This theory opposses theory X. It assumes that
employees enjoy their jobs and already attain
good motivation.
Theory Y desires to be creative and forwardthinking at work.
26. Teamwork
If you work with a group of people you are
essentially carrying out teamwork.
The success of teams is crucial to an
organization’s performance.
29. Shapers
Shapers like to work hard to achieve goals.
Shapers will debate, disagree and challenge
one another to provide the best outcome.
30. Monitor Evaluators
This type of person is the brains of the team.
They are calm and monitor teams in order to
get the most out of the workforce.
