best working of the company and to make sure that all the employees are having proper benefits
from the company so that the employees also give their best to the company which can make the

Task 1
1.1 Critically analyse appropriate leadership styles for premier inn with the justification of selection
of leadership styles
There are some of the leadership styles that are very helpful for the hospitality companies
like premier inn and leadership is the best practice which is used in the company to have the god
guidance among the employees and the other staff of the hospitality company. Leadership is done to
improvise the employees talent and analyse all the skills and it also helps the employee to be
properly guided by the leaders. Also the leaders are responsible to give the report of the employees t
the company so that the company can grow. But to be best leaders they must make sure that they
know that where they are standing right at the present time of the company. Leadership style is
referred to as the methods and the behaviour of the people when they are guiding and monitoring
the employees of the company. Also the leaders are also responsible for handling the strategies that
are taking place in the company and they also check that how all the strategies are getting
implemented in premier inn. It is also very important for the leaders that they take proper feedback
to actually analyse how they are performing their duties and making the employees of the company
more efficient. This is the source from which the leaders can actually know their worth and when
they have the feedbacks from all the employees then they are at point where they can chose that
which of the leadership they need to chose from all the leadership styles and some of the
leaderships that can be considered by the leaders are as follows:
 Democratic leadership: It is the leadership activity which is concerned with the concept
that leaders decide on the basis of the efforts given by each employee to the premier inn.
Also with this leadership style all the employees also have a say while the projection of the

work that will be done in the workplace. Also this leadership style is the best style as it also
permits the lower level employees to have some sort of authority in their hands where they
can make some of their own decisions. Also this type of leadership is the most effective
leadership among all the styles and it is also use in most of the organisations to be the best
leaders for their employees. For example, we can just say that when the democratic leader is
taking the meeting with the employees of the company, he will discuss some of the options
and then the employees will get a chance to be a part of the open conversation in the
meeting and by the end of the meeting discussion all the employees and the leader will come
at the same page where they will be agree with the result that has came out of the meeting
and that will then be beneficial for the company.
 Autocratic leadership: This type of leadership is just the opposite of the democratic
leadership style as it is concerned with the the concept where the leader is not even
considering the employees thought what they have for the company benefit ad the leader is
only authority in this style who is taking all the decisions by himself in the company. In this
scenario the employees are not considered that important asset for the company and they are
just guided to follow what their leader have decided for them to do. Example can be taken
that when the company manager is modifying the working hours of the worker of the
company without even asking them that if they will be able to cooperate or not. And this can
be the issue for the employees who have their other personal work to do after the working
hours of the company and then they are in a situation where they are not able to cooperate
with premier inn. If there is the selection among all the leadership styles then this style is not
give that much priority with comparing with other styles that can be considered by the
leaders.
 Laissez faire leadership: This type of leadership is the kind of leadership which is
sometimes effective and it is the leadership which is concerned with the concept of “let them
do” where the leaders are giving that much importance to the employees in their hands and
letting them decide the things for themselves. And these are the leaders who trust their
employees and focus on the major part or the working of the company and the process of
running the company. This style has given the employee that priority where they are having
no conflicts with the managing authority of the company and the leaders are not disturbing
or interrupting their work are making issues with their working hours and the shifts as these
leaders are only concerned with the performance of the company and not concerning the
employees management of performance. Although this style can also affect the make
employees feel that they do have a say in the company and this is empowering the
employees of premier inn by having some of the powers.

 Strategic leadership: This kind of leadership is a bit effective as is the interlinking of the
company main working operations and the growth opportunities of the company which can
be the most important part to be considered. The leader is responsible for handling the
burden of the executive interest and making sure that the working condition of the company
will be same for all the other employees. Also this sort of leadership is very often used by
the companies who have desires to be politically correct and the best among the others in the
various rivals that are present in the market for the competition.
The leadership style which is being used by the premier inn for the working in the respective work
environment it is using autocratic leadership style as the manager is not concerned with the thoughts
of the employees and the perceptions what they have for the company and this style is mostly used
style in the hospitality sectors by the higher authority.
1.2 Critically assess how organizational responsibility and responsible leadership leads to corporate
leadership systems to facilitate competitive advantage.
For corporations and organisations, leadership and its role are among the most pressing
challenges. According to the definition, "leaders are people who define the direction for a working
group of individuals, get commitment from this group of members to the established direction, and
then motivate members to achieve the direction's results." Leadership can be viewed from a
multitude of angles and viewpoints. Leadership has traditionally been characterised as a set of traits
possessed by a leader or as a social phenomenon originating through group interactions. Different
interpretations of what it means to be a leader may result from these notions. The dispute over
whether a leader's personal characteristics or what he or she does or thinks determines leadership is
raging. Leadership is described as "a process through which an individual inspires a group of others
to achieve a common goal," according to recent studies. According to another perspective on
leadership, "leadership is like the Abominable Snowman, whose footsteps are everywhere but who
is nowhere to be seen." Organizational leadership isn't a skill that some people are born with and
others don't. It's also not only about the boss giving commands and then watching how well they're
carried out. Instead, organizational leadership is defined as management's capacity to obtain and
protect corporate benefits by recognizing employees' needs and company goals and bringing them
together to work in a better environment to achieve common goals. In the foundation and
development of a corporation, organisational leadership is critical. It can help members 10 and
working teams in an organisation solve challenges and work toward a meaningful organisational
goal.
Our surroundings, it goes without saying, is always changing. Change is unpredictable in the
twenty-first century, resulting in a situation where adaptive institutions (those that see change as a
