Temat: Managerial Styles

Early thories of leadership treid to associate specific traits associated with strong leadership. Still, the trait appraoch proved to be a poor predictor of leadership poential. Thus, attention shifted from managers' traits to their behaviours, or MANAGERIAL STYLES - patterns of behaviour that a manager/lerader exibits in dealing with subordinates. Let's evaluate three of them:
1. autocratic style
2. democratic style
3. free-rein style
What do you reckon?
Cheers,

Temat: Managerial Styles

In my opinion: autocratic style is less efective in "peacfoul" times, but when crisis strikes can be very effective. Besides it's very dependant on the person who is the autocrat.
Democratic style is always medicore - becouse not popular, but effective and innovative ideas can be blocked, besides being popular becomes more important than being competent.

The best is the situational leadership ( created by Ken Blanchard), when management style depends upon the task, experience in performing this specific task but not depend upon the personality or skills at all. This is really tailor made approach.

Discussing leadership you're talking about management as if these two unequivocal terms. Let me ask you then what do you mean by leadership?

Leadership is very different from management.

To use a Stephen Covey idea: a group of people are in a jungle. The managers are there directing the workers where to use their machetes and where to cut a path. The leader is the one who climbs the tallest tree and shouts "Wrong jungle!"

Temat: Managerial Styles

Leadership is the process of motivating others to work to meet specific objectives.

My (working) definition of a leader is the person who is able to:
1) excite people (so that they FOLLOW YOU)
2) ground people (teaching them UNusual thinking)
3) transform people (and I don't mean CHEAPY transactions! but teaching them to choose the right battles to win, by being always kind, but not always nice)
4) release them (turning them into you, releasing THEIR genius!)Best,

It seems that leadership and management are two distinct phenomena. When we consider current business affairs it looks like managers ought to be leaders as well. Is leadership a part of management or vice versa? Maybe you have yet a completely different view?

They are two completely distinct phenomena.

If you expect a manager to be a leader, you will be disappointed. The leader, for me, is the ideas person, the entrepreneur, the one with the big picture, the drive, the charisma... all the things you don't learn at school.. and many of the great business leaders of our time were not great academic achievers in the traditional sense - Richard Branson is a good example.

Mangement is more akin to administration and can be evaluated and qualified - zarządanie i marketing is a popular course in Poland. What that really means is that businesses need people to take care of the nuts and bolts, the paper work, the administration, the procedures - this is management.

A manager with no leader will have nothing at all to manage.

For me leadership is not a part of management in the same way that a painter is not an architect.

Early theories of psychology associated the shape of a skull with personality types...We're not in that point anymore.

My working definition of leadership vs management is that the first one is about challenging people's talents (discovering their best), creating a vision, taking their hearts and minds.

Management is more of adjusting people's skills, execution of plans etc.

A leader imagines that there can be a fire set, makes people starting it by spreading out the perspective of warmth. when fire's set, management comes in to keep the fire burning.

I agree leadership isn't all about personality. It requires certain skills as well. I believe it's possible to train a manager to be a leader. The same is with a leader, who can learn to be a good manager. What do you think?

I wonder if among the Polish executives there are more managers that want to learn leadership or maybe there are more leaders who need to learn management...

Sure, you can be a better leader by modelling better leaders and be a better manager by modelling better managers.

As for the question on Polish executives... I think either the two terms are confused and taken for the same thing
