Contemporary
leadership seems to
be a matter of
aligning people
towards common
goals and
empowering them to
take the actions
needed to reach
them .
Leadershipis both a
research area and a practical
skill, regarding the ability of
an individual or organization
to "lead" or guide other
individuals, teams, or entire
organizations.
It is the process of influencing
people for achievement of
certain goals in a given
situation.

LEADERSHIP
Participative leadership
is a style of
leadership that involves all members of a
team in identifying essential goals and
developing procedures or strategies to
reach those goals.
From this perspective, this leadership
style can be seen as a leadership style
that relies heavily on the leader
functioning as a facilitator rather than
simply issuing orders or making
assignments.
This type of leader:
Sees to it that policies are worked out
in group decisions and with the
acceptance of the group.
Assigns a fair work load to his people
and recognizes the job that is well done.
LAISSEZ FAIRE
Laissez-faire[(les-ay-fair, lay-zay-fair)]
French for Let (people) do (as they
choose).

PATERNALISTIC
LEADERSHIP
In this leadership style, leader
acts as father figure
He takes care of his subordinates
as a parent would.
In exchange, the leader expects
loyalty and trust from employees,
as well asobedience.
A successful paternalistic leader thinks
about the big picture and considers how
every decision will affect "the family."
Paternal leaders value education and
social skills and often go out of their way
to provide employees with opportunities
for improving business and interpersonal
skills.

Little scientific and practical basis.
The theory does not explain who are leaders, how they
emerge, how they behave, and achieve effectiveness.
Leadership can be taught.
Environmental and situational factors do impact
leadership success.
So this theory has become obsolete and it cannot be said
that Leaders are born, not made.
