Academic theories in leadership which can help firm in getting number of benefits which will

THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP
Leadership: It is the process of guild and influencing the behaviour of others for
achievement of firm’s objectives and will deal to employees with skill, knowledge and
qualities, which are directed in particular direction.
Management: Management is the process of arranging capital and human resources
in origination with the help of framing policies and procedures for achieving end results
which is goals and objective of firm.
Similarities between leadership and management
Management and leadership both are the different approaches but they have some similarities
which are related to each other and integrate them for effective work in origination both
supervise groups or teams of people. both have duty to supervise teams for smoothing in
origination and good work flow the second similarity is both will typically evaluate
employees for that betterment and provide them opportunity to survive in origination and
thrive there personal growth within firm (Zada, Başkaya and Shah, 2017). This is the next
similarity that both are accountable for results which are came after the functioning of firm
this is because they give and manage the working of employees which will definitely give
arise to some accountability in firm. Both may use metrics to measure performance of their
employees and help them in improvement of there performance within firm and will lead to
success. both rely on effective communication in firm this is because communication

facilitate in getting good flow of information and will lead to right understanding of questions
which are arise when there is and problem in firm. So there are number of similarity in both
of them and the main similarity is that both the functions want growth and success of firm for
long run.
Theory of leadership and management
For understanding leadership theory it is necessary to understand the generation of these
management theories which are Classical Management Theories, This is that theory which
has its main beliefs that employees have only two types of needs which are classified as
economic and physical needs. There are no needs to full fill those needs which are related to
social and self-esteem of employees. Here the main focus is on labour specialization, profit
maximisation and increases productivity if firm. Employees just counted as workers not more
than that. This theory helps in dividing organizational structure in three stages top level
management, middle level of management and low level. It also brings specialization in firm.
Bureaucratic Management Theory, This theory was propounded by Max Weber for
operating firm in efficient way where the principles of bureaucratic management will be
implemented in firm. This theory has its attention on operating firm with hierarchy of some
position. Where all the decisions are taken by top level management which leads in success
of firm through effective management (Wildavsky, 2018). In this theory Max have its focus
on rules and regulation which must be followed by all employees at any level. These are
related to growth and development of employees for specialisation in working of firm.
Administrative Management Theory, This theory was given by Henry Fayol in 1841. He is
also known as father of management. In this theory Fayol provided the system to govern the
origination and using the management in firm. In this approach it has illustrated fourteen
principles which are related to management of work and help in bring specialization in
working. There are number of function which has to be fulfilled by firm. the all principle
which he given are Division of Work, Authority, Discipline Unity of Command, Unity of
Direction, Sub-ordination of Individual Interests to the General Interest, Remuneration of
Personal, Centralization, Scalar Chain, Order, Equity, Stability of Tenure of Personnel,
Initiative, Esprit de Corps, this theory have also helped in making the functions of
management which are planning, organizing, directing control and monitoring. It also
facilitate in providing formal structure to firm which it can use for functioning in origination
and will leads to motivation in employees. This will also focus an all needs of employees
which are required to full fill in origination.
Behaviour theory
Behavioural theories of leadership focus on the action and reaction of the leaders, this is the
study of specific behaviour of leaders in the given situation. Leaders can be made; rather than
born and successful leadership is based on learnable behaviour. Leaders behaviour influence
by culture, attitudes, values, emotions, ethics, authority, genetics. A leader behaviour is best
predictor of their leadership influence and as a result, is the best determinant of their
leadership success for behavioural theorist. These theories not focus on leaders’ qualities but
concentrate on what actually leaders do by studying their behaviours in response to different
situation. To identify the proper behavioural pattern of leadership styles various behavioural

scientist studies the behaviour of leaders. Behavioural leadership theory evolved through
scientifically studying the behaviours of leaders and the consequences of them on the
environment and work force. There are two important behavioural studies.
‘Ohio State University studies’ is behavioural leadership theory. Series of studies on
leadership was done by the Ohio State University in 1945 to identify observable behaviours
of leaders instead of focusing on their individual. There are two behavioural traits which is
identify under Ohio state university. First is ‘Initiating Structure in this factor the behaviour
of leaders who define the leader- subordinate role so that everyone knows what is expected,
established formal lines of communication, and determine how task will be perform.
Initiating behaviour leaders to such behaviour in which leaders are only focus about the
outcome of the job role or the job task (Nawaz, and Khan, 2016).
Second is consideration behaviour, the behaviour of leaders who are concerned for
subordinates and attempt or seek to establish a worm, friendly and supportive climate.
Leaders who take care of their group provide better internal environment and maintain good
relationship with subordinates and more focus on people rather than machine, equipment, tool
this type of leadership traits refers to consideration behaviour. Michigan leadership studies is
a behavioural leadership theory that conducted in the Institute for social research at the
university of Michigan, an empirical studies to identify styles of leader behaviour that results
in higher performance and satisfaction of the group the objective of the study is how the
leader can perform better in current job and how leaders performance would be higher and
the group or subordinates are being satisfied what is the key characteristics of the leader,
through which a leader is capable of draw more productive outcome of Michigan leadership
studies are task oriented behaviour, relationship oriented behaviour, participating leadership.
This leadership studies identified to distinct styles of leadership; first style is job cantered
leadership: - manager using job cantered leader pay close attention to subordinates 'work,
explain procedures and are kneeling interested in performance (Bird and Mendenhall, 2016).
Employee cantered leadership: - manager using employees cantered leader behaviour is
interested in developing a cohesive work group and ensuring that employees are satisfied
with their jobs. The Michigan leadership studies found that both the styles of leadership led to
increase in production.
Transformational leadership theory
Transformation leadership is a theory of leadership where a leader works with team or group
to achieve organization's goal, guide and motive the works to achieve the goal promote trust
and focus on leading and guiding. This Leadership theory assumes that leader's interactions
transform followers to accomplish what would do otherwise also assume that followers’
emotions, values, standards, ethics and long-term goals can be changed. Transformational
leadership is a process of engaging with others to create a connection that increases
motivation and morality in both the leaders and the followers. Leader is attentive to the needs
and motives of followers and tries to help followers reach their fullest potential. Factors of
transformational leadership that the leaders influence and being a strong role model for the

followers and conduct high standards of moral and ethics inspire followers to commitment to
shared vision and to achieve unexpected or remarkable results (Northouse, 2018).
Stimulating followers to be creative and innovative and develop the ways of dealing with
organization issue. Transformational leaders listing careful to the needs of followers and
helping followers to grow through personal challenges. Strength of transformational leader is
they emphasize their follower’s emotions, need, values, morals. And this increases the level
of performance of the followers and motive and satisfies them. Transformational leadership is
very effective style of leadership and decade of leadership research has shown that it leads to
a wide variety of positive outcome followers of transformational leadership are engaged,
motivated, satisfied, and the positive attitude, less stress and perform high then expected
level. In order to become transformational leader, one is required to perform four types of
behaviour, first is ‘Idealized influence’ be a storage role model for followers. A leader can
become a role model by working hard and set a positive example for everyone. Through their
action’s leader can show and communicate their ethical values with action. Leaders
emphasize the followers to follow a common mission and make some sacrifice to help the
followers to realize that mission (Boin, Stern and Sundelius, 2016). Leaders such behaviour
will earn respect and followers want to identify the leader. Second category is ‘Inspiration
motivation’ it involved developing a promising vision for the future and clearly
communicating the vision to their followers through the use of inspiring stories, vivid
imaginary. It also includes making emotional appeals to the followers and urging them to
work harder and go above and beyond role and responsibility in the pursued of shared vision .
Such appeals specially if made by someone that they greatly respect and admired often results
in higher level of commitment and performance. The third category is ‘Intellectual
stimulation’ it includes encourage followers to look at day to day problem from different
perspective and allowing them to come up with creative ideas or solution of those problem. it
also involves performing according to subordinates as they think out of the box and try new
method to solve existing issues. For this leaders need patients and tolerance to handle such
type of problematic situations. The forth category is ‘Individualized Consideration’ it
involves coaching and helping the followers to achieve the goals, it involves providing a
supportive working environment and carefully listening the needs of subordinates or
followers to achieve the goals. A good transformational leader never let their team down,
they always encourage their followers and maintain good relationship with followers.
