Document Summary
Effective leadership- the ability of a leader to get high performance from his or her subordinates: self-awareness, personal conviction, courage, creativity, curiosity, ability to inspire, ability to listen, ability to innovate, eagerness to experience, willingness to reflect. Power-influence approach- attempts to explain leadership effec- tiveness in terms of the amount of power possessed by a leader, the type of power possessed, and how that power is used to influence others within the organization. Competency perspective (trait)- has tried to identify the traits and competencies of effective leader. Transformational perspective- the transformational perspective suggests that effective leaders transform organizations through their vision, communication, and ability to build commitment to that vision among employees. Not all of the traits are equally important. Not all great leaders demonstrate all traits. Assumption- certain leadership behaviours result in greater commitment on the part of subordinates and hence higher performance in pursuit of organization goals.
