Leadership: the ability of an individual to influence, motivate and enable others to contribute forward the effectiveness and success of organizations of which they are members. Competency prespective: behavioural prespective: task oriented, employee, people oriented, or democratic style, laissez-faire style. Leadership substitues theory: in some situations leaders can reduce the amount of leadership they exercise because it becomes unnecessary due to existing substitues or neutralizers which inclue: high skill on the part of the employee, team cohesiveness, formal controls. Path-goal theory of leadership: the theory states that a leader"s behavior is contingent to the satisfaction, motivation and performance of his subordinates. The revised version also argues that the leader engages in behaviors that complement subordinate"s abilities and compensate for deficiencies. The path-goal model can be classified both as a contingency or as a transactional leadership theory. Transactional leader: administer, control, maintain, accept status quo. Transformational leader: inspire, innovate, challenge the status quo, develop.
