1LEADERSHIP A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVEAccording to me, Leadership is a quality by which one can motivate and encourageothers to complete an Assignment. For that self-assessment is very important, which is based onfew parameters such as Contingency, Charisma, Transformation and situation. A relevant self-assessment will determine the personality needed to be consistent and impactful. Self-assessingdifferent leadership quality is necessary as it gives an overview about the personality of theleader (Soieb, Othman & D'Silva, 2013). Transformational Leadership encourages the subordinate to achieve goal pre-sated bythe organization, proficient methods are figured for that. In this leadership style, the art ofmotivation is used to encourage an employee. It is an effective leadership tool where leader worktogether with the employees empowering them in the process. Collectivism is supported andindividual empowerment help accomplish exceptional and momentous outcome. In ContingencyLeadership, a draft is made to identify the potential overcoming and laying a decisive plan toexecute a decision in effective manner. This leadership style forecast the person’s behavior andformulates a plan on the basis of the circumstance in hand. This leadership style is competent toassess aspect of the present situation and making a strategic contingency plan for futurecircumstances. Charisma of a leader plays an important part in the Charismatic type ofleadership. As the employees will be driven by the sheer charisma of the leader and will followthem wherever the leader leads them. Charismatic leader can sell their dream quite easily to theemployee and in return, the employee works hard to make the leader happy (Saleem, 2015).Charismatic leadership is the leadership style where the leader sweeps the employee to do thework using influence or charisma. Charismatic leadership style involves qualities to catchattention and persuasion. Situational Leadership style reflects the versatility of the leader; theyare effective to mould themselves in the advancing level. They can adapt easily to a situation andhave the potential to face any adversities. Situational leadership is portrayed as that kind ofleadership where the leader’s attitude, to face and overcome adversity is commendable (Pierro etal., 2013). I strongly agree that, leaders are someone who takes major decision regarding everyaspect of an employee both in term of professional and in production. They help the crowd tounderstand and overcome any situation, they are the mediator to solve an issue and formcoalition wherever needed. They are persuasive and sometimes authoritative. They can imprintoutcome, in the mind of their followers. In addition, illustrate sense of achievement before evenachieving it. Leaders are drastic thinker and dreamer with self-driven motivation to overcomeadversities. They have irresistible confidence and personality; they are active listener and idealist(Wong & Laschinger, 2013). They can coup up their followers to believe in the unthinkable andunachievable; they will lead from the front and will show other how to do. Leaders are visionaryand work for the empowerment of everyone he/she works with. I think transformationalleadership will suit me the best as I favor empowering people around me more than puremoneymaking scheme (Du et al., 2013). What do you think Amir, what is your partake on the topic?
