Document Summary
Martin gets things done through his participative leadership style. He"s always on call, and basically saunders" bitch. Tension between the two has existed for a long time. Josh is the only reason things get done. If josh tried to find work elsewhere- saunders would likely find out, he feels stuck- continual commitment (= the worst kind) Leadership is defined as the ability to influence people towards the attainment of organisational goals (samson & daft, 2008). However, among all the ideas and writings about leadership, there are three different aspects that influence effective leadership; people, influences and goals. In other words, leadership is self-motivated" as it involves the use of power to influence people to achieve goals and outcomes (samson & daft, 2008). Effective leaders are essentially a fine balance between characteristics/traits, behaviors, sources of power, the use of power and aspects of the situation (vojya, 2010).
