MAIN BODY
Critically evaluate the contemporary definitions of leadership and management, consider current
perspectives of the roles and responsibilities of both leader and manager.
Leadership is the term that defines the different approaches or the style that has been used
by the leaders to get influence the abilities of an individual. On the other hand, management is
about solving the different administrative problems within the company and ensures that they
achieve the higher heights on continuous basis and have full control on the different task that is
performed on daily basis. Leadership states as a culture and an art through which the work will
get accomplished with more perfection and employee perform their works with more positivity.
It is a personality of an individual through which they could influence the other and be act as a
leader and try to attain the goal and their daily targets with lot of sufficiency. They always guide
the other and always act as the coach and from that provides the different pathways by which the
other employee achieve their targets with smoothness (Bush, 2019). It is the personality that is
present in each of the team and they always lead the team by which the better benefits will get
achieved by the panel as after the deadline of the certain project. It is the qualities that is more
effective and commonly attracts other by which the other people start following them and follow
1

their path to get attain more success in the life. They are the one that creates the vision for the
team and as that is set by the manager and then set the way to complete the adequate task by
applying different technique.
It has been state by the well known author Kotter (Management Theory of John Kotter,
2010), management is the process through which the manager processes the certain task and that
process will be implemented within the company by the leaders as they provide the desired path
to the employee by which they get relate themselves more within the adequate task. The skills of
the management will be used to make the better planning, ordination, directing, controlling,
organising and implementing the different operations within the business in a systematic and
proper manner (Lawrence, 2018). The managerial skills will be used to get solved the different
complex situations by assigning the adequate path to emphasis the potential of the business.
They always try to build the compassion and confidence between the team that they could
achieve higher goals by making extra efforts and implying their skills and abilities. The
managers will build the zeal within the employee and always try that individual will also
performs the works by getting out of their comfort zone by which they could manage themselves
in every situation and comes with better outcomes. They managers are the one that gives the
direction to the company by which they could achieve higher success in the aggressive market.
On the other hand the leaders are the one that provide pathway to the employee by which they
achieve their goals within the particular period of time. The management will always try to get
solve the different possible situations with an effectual style by which the production time will
get managed. They select the adequate candidates within the employees by whom they could
make and develop the skills, abilities and knowledge of the employees that improvise the
performance of the business from their exerting hard work. Tesco is one of the most leading
companies in UK and with that they operate their business with more diversified range of
products and services and that will be managed by the managers and the leaders or from their
collective contribution (Moorosi, 2019). There are some different roles and the responsibilities of
leadership and management that are as defined below as:
The different roles and responsibilities of manager within the Tesco:
 Envisioning goals: The goals of the company will get provided by the manager and for
that they provide the mapping of all the activities by which the vision, mission and
objectives of the Tesco will get achieved.
2

 Supervision the growth: It is the responsibilities of the manger of Tesco by which they
develop the long term goals for the company and by this the better strategy will get
induced after analysing the internal as well the external impact of different factors on the
business. To get positive outcomes from internal aspect the manger must induce best
technical advancement and hire the skilled candidate (Wong, 2019). While managing the
external factors the manager looks forwards the different macro-environmental factors
and then takes different step to get better outcome.
 Innovation: The manager of Tesco will try to induce the creative and innovative concept
within the business by which the manufacturing and production rate will get decreased
and the profit will be gained by the company in terms of higher revenue.
 Recovering and Examination the efficiency: In this the manager will enhance the
success and growth rate of the business and make the better and effective utilisation of
the resources by which the skills will get improved and more developed.
The different roles and responsibilities of leader within the Tesco:
 Couch team members: It is the style of the leadership with that the leaders will guide
and coach the working employee of Tesco by which they could achieve their targets by
making the best from all the individual of the team. They didn’t put pressure in the
employee but always treat them equal and believes that each individual is very much
important in the business and if they work with full of abilities that is always be
beneficiary for the company.
 Enlarge the strength of team and advance the weak areas: It is the responsibility of
the leader by which they identifies the strength of an employee and try to get sharpen that
on the other hand also measure the weakness and keep work to remove the different
uncertainties from the employees (Sousa, 2019). They always try to get take the best from
the entire individual and applies different stability within the working nature of the
employee.
 Identify and appraise goal and progress of the team: It is more necessary for the
business that business that the entire individual has some strength as that will also be
more important for the development and the success of the company. The Tesco leader’s
also be more charismatic and reduces the miscommunication from the team by which
3

more clarity will be exist that is more helpful to gain sufficient outcomes in the future
period of time.
 Doggedness the conflicts: The leader will also try to get resolve the different conflicts
that has been generated on random basis. It is must that conflict has been resolve on time
and for that the leader of Tesco will try to induce the better relationship in between the
entire employee. Thus they have believed on each other everyone must get follow all the
rules of the Tesco (Tull, 2018) (Cook, 2019). The leaders will provide the same and
balanced opportunity to all the employees by which they attain success in their personal
life as well.
These are some different roles and responsibilities that are performed by the leadership and
management department of Tesco by which the working performance of the company will get
more enhanced.
Critically compare what makes leader distinctly successful with different theoretical approaches
to leadership and management to underpin the discussion.
There are various theoretical approaches that is used by the leadership and management of Tesco
and that are defined as below as:
The great man theory: It is a leadership theory that is more relatable and heroic for all
the employees that are working within the company. This theory states that every individual has
the special set of skills; knowledge, belief, attitude, experience, capabilities, abilities, values
towards work and that all collectively make a person different from the other. It is the quality or
personality of a leader to get influenced other but on the other hand it is also necessary that the
other employee also has that much capability to understand the feeling of others. It is major
aspect through which the normal employee and the leader could get distinguish more and great
man state that leaders neither developed nor created they has that speciality as from their born.
Tesco performs their function from different parts of the worlds and having the wide branched
networks in which leaders plays an important role and thus they will furthermore enhances the
working abilities of all the employees by which they could perform their work with more zeal.
The leader has different qualities that will be presented and reflects their personality as like
sociability, conscientiousness, self-motivation, initiative, reliability, extroversion etc. The leader
didn’t have the limited range but they have the diversified knowledge through which they could
4

get best from every complex situation (Hawkins, 2018). The manager could assign the role but to
get it done with furnishing is dependable on the leaders.
Behavioural theory: It is a theory of leadership that state that all the employees are having
the different behaviour and it is not mandatory that everyone will reach and understand the same.
It depends on the mental level stability and as per that they get motivated from different aspect.
The leaders must learn and understand the different behaviour of an individual and as per that try
to get motivate them and ensure that the working knack and behaviour will get changed. The
employee are of different personality some will like to get join with other people while some
other are who will be more introvert and never like to get involve with random peoples. Thus in
this different kind of leadership style as like Democratic leadership in which leader provide more
freeness to the employee and takes the decision that is in the favour of the overall team.
Autocratic leadership styles in which the leader must get dictate the other employees by which
they could take the decision by themselves and provide relative information to the employees.
Laissez-faire leadership is a kind of style in which the leader will works as” let it be” and allow
equal opportunity to all the employees (Smith, 2019).
Situation theory: It is the leadership approach in which the leader could reach as per the
different situations and never have they chosen different style of leadership as per the situation in
order to improvise the productivity of the business. Tesco having the diversified range of
products and services by which there a lot of employee that are working within their business
and there is different aspect that could affect the emotion of employee on both professional and
personal level. The leader must get recognised the attitude and the on time behaviour of the
employee and then get try to motivate them in effective manner. Thus the leader must use the
style of leadership as per the situation that strengthen the opportunity in the business for the
employees.
Tesco will have the different functions that are managed within the business and the
leaders and the manager uses the different approaches through which they could enhance the
performance of the employee. The leader of Tesco uses the situational theory by which they
could try to resolve the different complexity from the company (Ioja, 2018). It has been very
much useful to get remove the conflicts by which the performance of the employee will get more
developed.
5

As per the great man theory it is defined that all the people have different kind of learning
and have different attitude towards their life and they get performed their work with more
sufficiency and thus it is more necessary that the individual get that space or that surround that
motivates them to perform different function and thus it is more needed to get defined the better
selection that raises the working standard as well as performance. But it is not easy for the
company that have manage a lot of employee thus it is not easier to motivate and look after to
each individual thus in that the leader plays the role and try to influence the behaviour by make
the better understanding. In the situation the leader will work as the different consequences and
try to get reach where it is necessary. There is some different condition that has been raised on
random basis and thus the leader get prepare for that and try to make effective change which is
more needed within the company. In the behavioural theory the leader get try to influence the
individual as per their attitude and personality as some people are more free in nature and accept
the change with more easiness while some have introvert personality thus it is hard to get
influence them thus the leader must influence while knowing the personality.
Thus for most the situational leadership will get selected and in that it is must that they
employee get provide the different norms as per the situation and then try to get provide more
appropriate outcomes in timely manner.
Bill Gates and Melinda gates exhibits ‘Ethical Leadership styles’ and with this have work
for the betterment of the society and under that make the effectual change and understand that
the students and more important and for that have make the change by providing them adequate
education that helps to make their future more brighter. They get more success as they have
provide education to the children who didn’t afford that with an ease and plays the corporate
social responsibility while the effective contribution within the market. With that they have try to
reduce the poverty rate as from the country that will try to get developed as like India and thus
they have try to make the positive change. They are more successful because they enhanced the
learning ability of a child that there foundation will get managed by the three people and they
have collectively worked to induce the better change within the society. The people get follow
them not because of the achievement only but their positive behaviour through which they make
the effectual development of the society. They have uses the empathetic leadership style through
which they have make the huge difference and by that they have understand the need of the local
people and get aware about the feeling and thinking of a lot of people.

Greta Thunberg exhibits “awakened leadership style” and with that she is more aware
about the relative change that is implemented within the society and thus try to get make the
effectual change within the society by which she could make change in the climate by reducing
the environmental pollution. She has gained a lot of achievement as be the youngest leader in the
year 2019 and a lot of people will understand the different norms what she wants to convey to
the other people. She has huge knowledge under which she has more concern about the change
and has developed the reports of different aspects that create more pollution within the
environment. She is fearless and more confident about her thoughts and thus tries to make
positive change and thus it is more beneficial for the large number of people that they must have
know the adverse impact that take the purity from the surround. She has uses the agile leadership
and have self ability to make the change that is acceptable for all the people.
Satya Nadella exhibits the resonant approach and under that be more confident and thus
get performed their task with more appropriateness and have spread more awareness about the
usage and importance of Microsoft as it is the most used application and get followed by a
million of people. He has a lot of achievements as Fortune's annual Businessperson of the Year;
he is the technology giant since 2014. A lot of people who have interest towards the technicality
must have follow them as he set the benchmark from his performance and not one meet that but
want to be like them and he is the role model of a lot of people who have desire to do something
in relative to software. He must have follow the resonant approach in which he explore more of
technology and with that try to make the effectual change by which the positive change will get
bring with more simplicity.
Critical comparison of three key contemporary leader and analyse the critical skills and
behaviour of successful leaders.
The contemporary leaders as like the Greta Thunberg, Satya Nadella and Bill and
Melinda gates they are the individual personality that set the example of being a leader and with
that they achieve the higher success in their working field and the overall world will recognised
them from the way by which they get influence a billion of people. Greta Thunberg is a younger
girl who has more certainty and has consciousness to get safe the climate, environment from the
pollution. She will protest for their right and influence other as well to get more understanding of
the nature. Satya Nadella motivates the employee to always do your best rest is the outcome and
7

don’t hesitate from that but never get back by putting the efforts. Bill and Melinda gates are the
one that contributes their whole life to develop the living standard of poor people.
The skills and the behaviour of the leader make them more successful from their efforts
and that could be happen by having the strong communication with the others. It is the medium
through which the leader could transfer their point of view in front of the people and also
understand the belief of other as well (Hechanova, 2018). They could enhance that by reading
more and more books that also helps to gain the huge knowledge as it helps to understand the
though process of an individual. It is most effective approach through which they could make the
efficient relationship with the other people by which they could make strong connection and
intensify interaction as well.
There are some different methods of the development of leadership and management and
that are as defined below as:
 Have a clear vision: The leader must get work with the more clear vision that helps to
gain the more clarity in the working role and it helps to attain the better outcome to get
better and achievable outcomes. It is more realistic approach through which the leaders
uses the splendid way to provide appropriate path to the other by which they could make
better understanding.
 Be passionate: The leader has the only aspect and they will work with more compassion
and always focused to get the better output and reach to maximum of the people by which
they have made the attractive influence on the behaviour of the other employees. The
leader of Tesco is more passionate towards their role and they have huge knowledge of
some in some adequate field by which the employee get more easiness to understand
different facts (Rae, 2018).
There are some several methods through which the leadership and the management that will
get developed and that are as defined below as
 360 degree feedback: It is the way through which the feedback will be collected from
each and every individual that get linked within the company. The managers and leaders
could analyse the working criteria of themselves that helps to make better understanding
that employee get accept their behaviour or not. After collecting the feedback the
employees will get more provide their review and thus the manager and leader further
imparts the change in their style to get better connectivity with the employees. The
8

feedback is collected from the colleagues, supervisors, manager, higher authority and
other staff as well.
 Executive couching: In this approach the leader and the manager will take the coaching
or the guidance from the higher level authority or the executive officers. As they have
also gone through with the same phase thus provide the better understanding that is more
relative and better for the leader and manager.
 Self-directing learning: It is an approach through which the leaders and the manager
will get enhanced their learning from their own experience that is gained by solving and
facing the maximum complex situation. They themselves use the different approach and
from that apply different theory by which they could make strong connectivity with the
other employees. It is the approach through which the learning will remain with the
leader and the manager for their entire life. It brings more knowledge and has successful
impact on the performance of them.
These are the different developmental areas but there are some other areas as well through which
the leader and the management and they uses the plan and unique strategy by which they get
ensure that people has more connectivity with them. They must perform their work with more
positive approach and remain calm also uses the better communication that helps to gain useful
outcomes.
There is a few skills and behaviour of a leader and the manager that are as define below as:
 Building trust: The leader must try to get build the trust of the other people and as per
that the large number of people get try to influence the working behaviour by which try to
make effectual change that support to make maximum development.
 Being grounded in ethics and truthfulness: The leader have performed their work with
more sufficiency and in that they have try to be grounded by which they get better
relativity not with their work but with the people as well. The leader is always by more
truthful and never be hide anything from everyone and always speaks the right without
getting affected by anyone.
 Inspire the ambience: The leader have worked to inspire a lot of people and with that
they have more generosity by which they have worked with more perfection.
The development of leadership and management include a few interventions so as to
improvise the presentation though attractive the efficacy and several are as defined below as:
9

 Mentoring and couching: The leader must get provide the adequate mentoring to the
other people by which they have worked with more sufficiency. They have provide the
guidance and thus they have couch the other employee by which more people get worked
with more satisfactoriness.
 Action learning: The leader must get worked as per the action and thus provides more
clarity within the working ability. In that the leader have learn from the different action
that are performed to complete the appropriate task.
 Accountability succession planning: The leader will made the plan and with that they
have performed the different task under that they have influence the working ability that
is more beneficial as the success will get by following the adequate path.
It will get implemented within the development of skills and development and in that the more
concentration and recognition is more important that helps to performed the task and actions with
more perfection. The leaders have that multidimensional quality and have that charisma that gets
followed by the different individual. As they didn’t want to get in the lead but as from their
working and the development of the leadership and the development is the overall process by
which they have become of effective in their nature. The intervention is the practice based
learning that will get developed the different practices and with that the leaders provider
couching and sufficient direction to the other people.
The leadership and management intervention is being more important that will get used
to make more certified changes and better opinion by which better outcomes will get generated
and that is as defined below as:
Specified intervention: It is the intervention that is mostly used to get make the better
and appreciable outcomes by which the working qualities and then ability will get more
developed. In this intervention the leader will make the development of the overall team and
group under which they have performed their function. It is the tool of the leadership in which
the leader will make effective distribution of the services within the society and their surround as
well. It will impart more balance in job profile by which it furthermore, is more effective for the
manager and the leader and in this the rate of competencies will get developed. In this the leader
will always be more comfortable and realistic towards their work. It helps to make the strong
