Document Summary
Leadership: a behavioural process of influencing individuals and groups toward set goals. Leaders not only provide a vision of what to strive for but also give the structure, motivation and support to translate the vision into reality. Leadership comes in two forms: prescribed (tell people what to do, emergent (lead by example) Leadership has two demands: ensure demands of the organization are satisfied (meet goals and objectives, ensure the needs of the group members are satisfied (maximum opportunity to achieve success) Leaders are different from managers or instructors (p. 204) More recently looked at an interactional model of leadership which analyzed the relationship between the leader and the situations in which they operate. Research focused on two major aspects of the leader"s role: organizational requirements, productivity and performance (task orientation, personal requirements, needs and aspirations, satisfaction (support orientation) The result is a situational leadership model for assessing leader style and athlete preference.
