Leadership & Management
Introduction
The company also sells cleaning supplies and personal care products in addition to food and drink. Following
Procter & Gamble and Nestle was the world's third-largest consumer goods firm in 2011. In Rotterdam, the
Netherlands, Unilever N.V. and Unilever PLC are located. Both of Unilever's subsidiaries have the same board of
directors as a single company. In addition to serving as non-executive chairman and CEO of Unilever N.V. and
PLC, Michael Tre chow serves as a non-executive director (Introduction to Unilever - 1436 Words | Bartleby,
2021).
Manager
When necessary, managers have the authority to acquire and dispose of resources. Depending on the
requirements, they can hire or fire personnel, request supplies and equipment, and arrange teams. For the most
part, companies prefer to hire managers with a proven track record of success or teach current employees to take
on the role of manager. Managers in an organization can be divided into three broad categories based on their
responsibilities: operational, tactical, and strategic (What is a Manager? - Definition | Meaning | Example,
2021).
Leaders:

Leadership & Management
A good leader is someone who can imagine how things can be made better and who organizes others to move in
that direction. Leaders can pursue their goals while putting the needs of others first. Leaders must be able to
empathize and connect with others to be effective; simply being able to inspire others isn't enough. You don't
have to have the same background or go the same road to become a leader. The opinions of future leaders will be
increasingly varied because of the increasing variety of today's leaders. Of course, my definition could be
challenged by others. Having a shared vision of leadership within an organization is critical (Morgan, 2021).
Leadership Theories
Over the years, numerous research on leadership has yielded multiple hypotheses. Philosophers, psychologists,
and cognitive scientists have put forth several theories to explain how a leader is formed. People can learn how to
improve their leadership abilities by studying these theories. Having a basic understanding of some of the most
fundamental leadership ideas is essential for every manager (Morgan, 2021).
The Constraints of a System
This idea holds that leadership can't be applied uniformly to all situations. By this, I mean that a leader must make
an informed judgment based on the information available when faced with any given scenario. "Effective
leadership is about striking the perfect balance between needs, situations, and behavior," says one author. This
ability to recognize and address their followers' needs, appraise the current situation, and take necessary action is
what sets the most influential leaders apart from the others (Morgan, 2021).
Situational Leadership Theory
As with the Contingency Theory, the Situational Theory believes that leadership styles should not be ranked in
order of importance. The situational theory, created by Professor Paul Hersey and leadership guru Ken Blanchard,
explains leadership effectiveness by combining leadership style with followers' maturity levels. In this view,
leadership, and decision-making in different circumstances necessitate different approaches. A leader's response
to the current situation should be based on their analysis of it (Morgan, 2021).

Leadership & Management
Transformational Leaders' Theory
Transformative Leadership theory, often known as Relationship theories, focuses on leaders and followers. These
leaders inspire and motivate their followers to alter and improve their performance in a specific endeavor. This is
the focus of this concept (Morgan, 2021).
Interaction Theories
Management and exchange leadership theories both fall under the umbrella term "transactional theories,"
emphasizing the importance of management, organization, and teamwork in a company's success. When it comes
to making leadership decisions, the concepts of rewards and punishments play a significant role. According to
proponents of this management style, using incentives and penalties to motivate employees is popular (Morgan,
2021).
Research in the Field of Theoretical Psychology
It shifts the focus of the behavioral theory from the characteristics and attributes of leaders to their actions and
behaviors. In light of this concept, leadership is more of a collection of skills and abilities than a single innate
quality. Here, it is asserted, one can learn to be a good leader. In my opinion, it is one of the most compelling
theories of leadership (Morgan, 2021).
Theory of Great Men's Leadership
It is based on the idea that leadership is more of an inborn trait than an acquired one, making it one of the most
ancient theories in the field. According to this theory, leaders are characterized by their charisma and confidence
as well as their intellect, communication skills, and social aptitude. It is either innate or learned, according to this
belief, to be a leader. As a counterpoint to the theory's negative overtones, many modern thinkers and even some
leaders themselves have mostly rejected it. This study provides a look at the traits of great leaders and how they
haven't changed much over time (Morgan, 2021).
A Theory About What Makes a Good Leader

Leadership & Management
Those who believe in the innate superiority of leaders believe that those who are born with specific characteristics
are more equipped to serve in leadership roles. Several traits are necessary for a person to succeed as a leader:
intelligence, a sense of responsibility, and a willingness to take risks.
DIFFERENT THEORIES OF MANAGEMENT.
My purpose at Unilever is to analyze the leadership styles in use, evaluate leadership effectiveness, and offer
ways in which leadership and teamwork can work together to improve the organization's performance. Several
factors contribute to a team's success. Open communication is necessary for a team to develop a standard set of
values and norms. During the early stages of a team's formation, members will frequently discuss the group's rules
of conduct. You can identify and build models that improve collaboration and productivity when you do this.
1. Management Theories
The total (your business) comprises several subsystems, each of which is built on top of the previous one.
Because Systems Theory is a way of looking at your company rather than a specific management approach. It can
be utilized in conjunction with the other management theories on this list.
2. Principles of Administrative Management
Henri Fayol (1841-1925), a miner and engineer, developed a top-down analysis of business processes. When
dealing with your coworkers, put yourself in your manager's shoes and imagine what it would be like. Thus, he
concluded that managers and managers generally have six obligations when it comes to managing their employees
(The 11 Most Important Management Theories For Small Business - Sling, 2021).
 Organize
 Command
 Control
 Coordinate
