1ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP
Question 1
If I am given the responsibility of management in an organization, I would select the
“democratic style” and “pacesetting style” of leadership (Goleman). Democratic leadership style
is associated with giving every employee a voice in decisions, which builds organizational
flexibility and responsibility and also generating new, creative ideas within the workforce. On
the other hand, pacesetting style of leadership is where the leader sets high standards of
performance and provides a positive impact on the employees who are self motivated and highly
competent. Both the democratic and pacesetting style of leadership would allow an organization
to reach to the pinnacle of success because both of the leadership styles are highly efficient and
effective when it comes to engage, tackle and manage the employees of the new generation. As I
am a liberal, highly competitive, self critical but optimistic kind of person, I believe that the best
way to deal with the employees of today is not by following the archaic or traditional methods of
leadership (coercive or authoritative), rather, providing a platform for the employees to bloom
and perform according to their abilities is the new vogue of management. Apart from that, an
optimistic and energetic leader would encourage the employees to be optimistic and energetic as
well. Therefore, by practicing pacesetting style of leadership, I believe that I am able to instill
energy and zeal in the mind of the employees to encourage them to exhibit their best
performance for the sake of the organization.
