 Authoritarian leadership – This style permits a leader to enforce assumptions and gives more define results. This style is
efficient in the time effected situations in which creativity will be compromised because the team's input is limited. It requires
a knowledgeable leader in order to be more successful in this.

 Participative leadership – In this members of the team are involved in the process of decision making in order to make the
members of the team more involved , engaged and encouraged to contribute. The managers will usually have the final decision
in this process.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:
Maslow's hierarchy of need is the theory of motivation which can be used by the leaders in order to understanding the needs of
human and assist their members in attaining them (Modha, 2020). This theory is described below briefly:
 Physiological needs – This need is the biological necessity for the survival of the human and if these needs of the people are
not attain then the body of human cannot appropriately function such are shelter, food, cloths and many more. This is
considered as the physiological requirements the most essential as every the other needs become secondary till these are
attained. Leaders can make sure that they are rewarding their members which can support them in attaining this need.
 Safety needs – Once the physiological need of the people are satisfied then the requirement for safety and protection become
more inclined. A person want to experience control, predictability and order in its lives. So that these requirement can be
attained by the community and society (Zaman, Nawaz, and Nadeem, 2020). Moreover to this, a leader can provide their
members free medical care for them and their family members as well as provide them with required leaves in order to make
them feel more motivated and satisfy their this need.
 Love and belongingness needs – The third stage of the needs of human is social which includes the feeling of belongingness.

person can be done.
Role of leadership and management in enhancing organisational competence:
This has been understood that without management and leadership, all the other elements of the business lie in active. Brawny
leaders can assist a firm in increasing the performance and productivity in order to accomplish the goals of the business whereas
inappropriate management and leadership can minimise the performance and productivity. So, the role of the management and
leadership in increasing the organisational competence is mentioned below:
 Motivates Employees – Good manager or leaders encourage workers in order to make them work more hard and accomplish
the need of the organisation by single means or other (Hallinger, 2018). Few leaders might motivate workers to put more
efforts in their working while other managers might make their member afraid of the consequences of not giving their best and
increase their productivity. Both the ways work in order to increase the motivation but in order to effectually encourage the
employees leadership and management has an essential role by giving them the appreciation they deserve as well giving them
the incentives and rewards which can lead to the productivity and their performance as it will ultimately gives the result in
attainment of the organisational goals and objectives effectively and efficiently.
 Builds Morale and Improves Satisfaction – Good leaders increase the productivity of the workers by constructing more
confidence in them and making an optimistic atmosphere which is contributing to the productivity. At the time when a worker
feel more distracted and stressed, so its performance and satisfaction of the job also suffer which is not good for the betterment
of the employee as well as of organisation (Hallinger, 2018). At the time when manager increase the morale of the worker, it
can assist them to increase the rate of retention, enhance satisfaction of the employees job and might favourably effect the
lower level division. So the enhanced employees satisfaction can lead to the increased performance which is effectual for the
betterment of the organisation for their long term growth and success.

 Delegates Responsibilities – This is possible for the managers or leaders in order to delegate more and this is possible for the
managers to delegate too little. Brawny managers understands that what they can delegate and what to manage so that the firm
is more productive as suitable for them (Bush, 2019). Sufficient delegation is also required for managing the satisfaction of the
workers as staff might take the benefit of a leader which delegates very low and not like the manager which delegate too much.
So, appropriate delegation of the work by the managers can lead to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the company
in an effectual way which will lead to the long term profitability and sustainability of the firm.
 Coordinates Employee Needs and Organizational Needs – One of the most crucial things which all the leaders and manager
should do in accordance to be effectually align needs of the workers as well as organisational wants. Talents of the workers,
interests and scheduling requirements which can be advantageous or reduce from the company, relying on how appropriate a
leader or a manager operate in order to align such elements with the objectives, needs and goals of the company. Therefore,
the best leaders will identify the ways in order to effectually align all the needs and talents of the workers with the goals of the
company.
PART B
Reflective essay on Leadership Skills:
Leadership is known as the social linkage between the several people which depends among each other in order to accomplish
shared objectives and goals in team setting. Brawny leadership supports a company and people in accomplishing their targets by
focusing on the team's management and need of work (Hallinger, and Hammad, 2019). So, the leaders are those people that position
leadership of the company and transfer obligations to the other people in accordance to attain better results. Leaders give the tools for
achievement to the people of the group and they are also the physiological mentors of their employees. Moreover to this, management
is usually understood as the practice of organising, planning, monitoring and regulating actions of the staff in cooperation with various
other sources in order to accomplish the goals of the company.
