Leadership Theory

Autocratic Delegative

Bureaucratic Democratic

Theories of 1970s:

Example:

Basic Concept of Motivation

Need Hierarchy Theory:

As per Dr. Maslow, human motivation has 5 levels.Human wants to satisfy his needs one by one from bottom to top of the pyramid.To motivate one individual, leader needs to understand the present need level of the individual.If the leader can understand the present need level of the individual, then leader can motivate the individual by satisfying his need, if possible.

New Leadership Theory:

Transformational Theory:• Leaders inspire individuals, build up trust, and promote creativity and personal growth

• Individuals develop a sense of purpose to help the group, organisation or society. This goes beyond their own self-interests, rewards or recognition for effort or devotion.

Leadership Theory

Leading from the middle:

For a team it is not desirable to have limited leaders.It is important to have multiple leaders in every level, in every sub groups and in every work. It is important that every individual of the team has to be encouraged to become a leader at individual level.Organizations rise and fall on the qualities and activities of their leadership at every level. Successful organizations cannot wait until someone gets to the top to start leading. Organizations need leaders in the middle level, who create values through out the organization.
