leadership
There are various leadership theories which helps in becoming a successful leader. It is
helping entity to work with people which are facilitating individual to work in the best way
(Bolden, 2016). Some theories of leadership are discussed below:
Trait theory - This theory refers to qualities of leader which help leaders in effective way. It
helps individual to identify which type of characteristics a leader must possess. This theory fails
in making of employees to work in better way. There are several leaders who fail while having
such type of characteristics so there is no guarantee to become a good leader. There are some
traits which a leader must possess like confidence, knowledge, communication and many more.
It helps an individual to motivate so that they can achieve set goal. This theory is not good
enough to follow in cited entity. Not all people has all trait which a leader must possess, some of
them gain it by experience.
Behaviour theory -This type of theory which helps an entity to determine behaviour of leader.
There can be two types of leader one is task and another is people bound. Chosen leadership
style can give different results in many of the situations which are prevailing in entity (Boddy,
2017). This type of leadership has limitations that all individual are not having same
circumstances while taking decisions for beneficial for entity. It helps individual to gain
experience out of diverse situation. It helps leader to know about other person’s behaviour which

Circumstances of firms are not similar all period so some time there can be such a difficult
situation which has to face by entity as well as employees. Some leaders are not having all type
of features which is require to become a successful leader. There are chances that leader possess
4

that characteristics, behaviour and situational factor which are required or not. This type of
theory totally depends upon situation and according to this, result also vary. This type of theory
is very much uncertain and it is not possible to implement it on firm. Asda is not following this
type of theory because most of leader will not be dependent on situation.
Models
Models of leadership means which help should leader must be. There are different type of
leadership style which leader must possess. It is helping entity to make sure that business is
performing its tasks in better way. Some type of leadership styles are:

entity is using this type of leadership style in that case transactional model give better results in
context to cited entity as well as organisation.

leadership style. Under this type of leadership, leader motivate and inspire their team mates to
be energetic all time. There is only one difference between transformational and charismatic
leadership is that charismatic leader focus in them self, not on others and other leaders make
modification in team as well as organisation. This type of leadership which is helping entity to
do things according to his own way. It is helping entity for makes sure that people are working

team members and then only judgement is taken for cited entity. Rules of this type of leadership
are very much flexible. This helps employees to work with creativity. This will increase

organisation.

flexibility in working where there is no restriction of rules and regulation and entity can work in
better way. It helps an entity to show innovative methods while working it will result in growth
of Asda. This can increase sales of entity and ultimately, its revenue. It works with motive of
development of entity. Employee is working with no restriction which helps them to represent

It helps entity to take complex decisions which facilitate in growth of individual. Success
of organisation depends on leader and due to him only, people are working in entity with
satisfaction. There are different type of theories which help individual to become a leader (Stoll
and Kools, 2017). Some of them are based on trait theory which help in determining
characteristic of person which is capable of becoming a leader. Traits are important dfor a person
to posses as it enables to make them perform in effective manner. This theory help entity to
identify future leaders. This type of theory which help in developing of features which are
required becoming leader which help in making entity to grow in better way. This facilitate them
in analysing of own strengths and weakness of individual. This theory sets bench mark for
becoming a leader. Situational theory focus on dealing with circumstances in which people are
working.
It helps an entity to make sure that people are working to take decisions in such a diverse
situation. This facilitate employees in working in with most of complex situation. It supports an
entity to make sure that people are working with company in complex environment which will
increase its productivity of employees as well organisation (Stander, De Beer and Stander, 2015).
This leadership helps a person to work in difficult environment which gives experience and
potential for people. It will be helpful for achieving goal of cited entity. It is helpful for
employees that they can deal any of the situation and it will not affect entity. Behaviour theory
help in analysing behaviour of other people.
It helps an entity to determine behaviour of people from which individual is dealing. It
supports an entity as well as employee to identify behaviour of people which helps in dealing

deal in company which is helpful for achieving goal of entity. It is helpful for entity to make sure
that people are working with person whose behaviour is known by them and help in cracking
deal with individual. Contingency theory depends on probability of situation. In all the situations,
one leadership theory is not enough. In that case, people apply theory in combination (Pronovost
and et.al., 2017). It is helpful for entity to make sure that people are working for sake of
development. There are different type of person has diverse nature of talent which cannot be
analyse by applying one type of method so there is need of combination of methods to be used
for determining them. It helps entity to make sure that people are working in such a diverse
8

environment. In firms also, implementing one method is not enough because entity needs

TASK 3
3.1 Describe an organisation's objectives which can influence choice of leadership styles
Organisational objective can be influenced by leadership styles in decision making.
There are lot of leadership style which is followed by entities. Leadership style is influencing by
entity and its operations.
Democratic Style - This type of style is very much flexible which satisfies employees of
organisation. This type of leadership style help in achieving objectives of firm. It helps an entity
to give freedom to employees to work in their own way. It helps entity to get work done in
unique and creative way. This will give result in good way. It will increase brand value of

style is helpful in meeting objectives of entity. Workers are given liberty of working which is
helpful for entity in making products in innovative way that will increase selling of goods. This
will be one way by which entity is able to generate revenue of business. It is meeting customer
needs which is making entity popular in market.
Autocratic Leadership style - This type of leadership style focuses on taking decision by one
person only. Rules are very strict in this style. This type of style focus on oneself only and no
need to concentrate on team spirit. Objectives of Asda is to provide quality goods at cheap prices
but this type of leadership restrict entity to achieve that goal. One reason can be that employees
of company are not satisfied which affects working of entity. If workers are not satisfied with
their job, then they will not do work with interest. This will reduce productivity of employees
and revenue of entity will also get decreased. There will be no creativity in products which will
let down image of entity. For meeting customer needs, it requires researching about habits and
taste of consumer but this entity is working in such a way that people are least interested in
purchasing of product. If employees are not satisfied then in that case, turnover of employees
9

will increase which ultimately result in shortage of employees. This leadership style is not
appropriate for achieving objectives of entity. This style has effect on objectives of cited entity.
this type of leadership style is very strict and never take opinion from subordinates. Owner is
whole responsible in taking any of decisions.
Situational Leadership- This type of leadership focus on achieving goal of entity by seeing
circumstances (Mittal and Dhar, 2015). Its motive is to make that not only one leadership style in
followed in organisation. It can be one of the way by which entity is using two of method are
according to fit in working environment. This type of leadership style can also achieve objectives
of cited entity. It is working with employees which are used to make product in creative way.
This helps Asda in gaining popularity of making good image in front of society. This is one way
by which entity is performing to reach its goal according to situations of entity. By seeing
circumstance in retail store, it helps employees to develop calibre of facing of any situation. It
helps an entity in achieving its goals like profit earning of which is helping entity to use
innovative styles to attract customers. More customer means gaining of popularity in front of
society (Chetiya and Sharma, 2016). This is one way by which entity is gaining success. By
dealing many situations by employees helps an entity to gain experience for lifetime. It is one
way by which entity is gaining of competitive advantage from other firms. There are lot other
objectives which helps an entity to achieve it via workers.
3.2 Different industries and sectors which are using leadership styles which suits them

culture by following of new ideas. With combination of both styles, this sector can
achieve and reach new heights of success.
Private sector - This sector has a motive of earning profit. It is very difficult to raise funds in
this type of sector. It is working with motive to serve people by taking of money. There is no
control of government over this type of sector. This type of sector follows directive leadership
style. This type of leadership style refers to guiding of employees in each and every task which is
facilitating them to avoid of risk. This type of sector has done work according to given orders by
higher authority. Employees cannot do work by their own. Guidance and permission is necessary
for entity. In private sector also, no activity is performed without permission. If any mistake is
done by worker, in that case entity has to face loss that's why everything is done with permission.
It is one way by which entity is doing progress in its field. This type of style is most suited by
this sector.
Voluntary Sector- This sector mainly focus on serving people with motive of improvement in
condition of poor person and taking of steps for uplifting them. Funds are raised by organisation
with motive of helping lower section of people (Bienkowska and Lovén, 2017). This type of
organisation follows Laissez faire and facilitative leadership style. Facilitative Leadership style is
focussing on culture and relationship with motive of making of relation with people. It is helping
employees for performing business operations to achieve the objective of entity. This helps in

Asda is following Laissez faire leadership style because in this leaders give all authority of work
to employees which gives them freedom to do work in its own style. In this function also, work
is divided between employees of entity which help them to do work with creative style.

already made by organisation. In this three things are to be determined which are making of

In this leadership style, company is taking Autocratic leadership style. In this style, owner is
controlling staff members of business. Only owner is liable for its decisions. In this function also,
entity is controlling its members.
