1

styles in order to make employee behaviour positive and influencing. There are different theory
of leadership with different concepts or meaning such as Behavioural Theory, Trait Theory,
Contingency Theory, Power and influence theories, etc. from all the theories Behavioural theory
of leadership is more competitive and effective than others. Behavioural theory concentrate on
the people qualities people have in their career or in professional life. This theory of leadership
focuses on specific behaviours of a leader. It is the long lasting result growth that company could
adopt in their day to day life (Chaffer, 2017). Generally, this style of leadership try to analyse the
employees' behaviour in different aspects. Leaders are of different types such as task oriented
behaviours and may make decision using authoritarian, democratic, or laissez fair styles.
Different leadership styles helps in making different decision making in different manner.
Leaders are different and use their styles in their own ways in different situational conditions.
The behaviour of leader reflect their skills and marketing potential in different style or growth. In
behavioural their leader has defined in different styles are given below:
Task Oriented Leaders
Task oriented leaders are generally focused on the company structure and the procedures
of the effective leadership style and growth. Task oriented leaders are still concern with their
staff motivation (Alamsyah, Darsawati and Suwiryo, 2018). Task oriented leaders are generally
more concerned about the new major working goals. The main objective of the leaders are to
fulfil the new learning goals. Concept of leadership is to generate the potential growth and
enthusiasm between all employees. Besides, it also helps to full fill the notes and effective
dealing target market channel. In other words, it would help to determine the learning goals and

management is very much required in order to built the new managing source and develops the
new management. In other words it is also very much required to move good outcomes and
brings new target opportunity to build new enthusiasm between employees. Behavioural
approach is far better than trait theory. Behavioural theory is more authenticated and leading in

objecvtives.
Task oriented leaders are always focused or engage with their employee motivation. The
task concerned leaders are focusing their behaviours on the organizational structure. The task
concerned leaders are focusing their behaviours on the organizational features. Task oriented

leaders always support their employees in terms of initiation, organizing, clarifying and
information gathering.

People oriented leaders are focusing their behaviours on ensuring that the inner needs of
the people are satisfied. Thus, they will seek to motivate their staff through emphasizing the
human relation.
People Oriented Leaders
People oriented leaders are focusing on the personal needs of the employees. These kinds
of leaders generally focused on their employee needs. Also, motivate their staff through

other employees to get more influenced by the company environment and give their best to the
company outcomes.
There are four kinds of leadership Leader, Followers, communication and situational. All
the types of leader having only one aim is to accomplish the employee aims and objectives in
order to accomplish the individual satisfaction needs and goals. Behavioural leadership there is
the best leadership theory that should adopted by the John & Lewis in order to create the good
environment.

positive consequences (Gessler and Peters, 2017). This is the best way to control the long lasting
generating goals in order to build up the new managing work goals.

Analysing the leadership management program in the chosen business organization.
In order to build the leadership skills and enthusiasm in between employees to get the
best opportunity from the market. John & Lewis is the leading company also need to manage
their employees and their behaviour in the best possible manner (Kickbusch, 2016) Apart from
that, it helps to discover the new working style and new managing successful businesses. The
main purpose of this leadership program is to deliver the leadership skills and attributes

Momentum management program
“No Matter where you're learning, we're there”
This programme handled by the company as management programme also concentrate on
the new developing department and goals. John & Lewis wants to motivate their employees by
applying these kinds of leadership growth (John Lewis Partnership, 2015). The following key
leadership program includes some skill set such as personal mastery communication, leadership
vs. Management, Emotional intelligence, team development, counselling, problem solving,
listening skills. In other words, working on shelf examine the growth and long lasting results in

This process can help leaders which employee wants what kind of learning methodologies. Some
employee is less quick than others, it also helps to understand the new opportunity or goals in
order to analyse the overall conditions.
Leaders must need to understand how others communicate, take information, process and
make decision and orient themselves to their world. Another module of this programme is to
working with others (Li, 2016). Working with other can more helpful for the company interest

functions.
By management program leader can understand more about employees in which they
interact with employees through different style (Long and et.al., 2017). Management program

management or also different concept from leadership On the other hand, management based on
policies, code of conduct or following the business structure. But on the same side, both

members of their teams (Magbity, 2018). In other words, it requires to be more energetic and
influencing the leading material task. Leaders have duty to analyse or leading the work targets
and making the new working task and full-fill the business needs and goals.
The Outdoor challenge roles and responsibility is the measuring developing results in
order to full fill the effective management task and goals in order to built the employee skills and
enthusiasm goals. This session can reawaken the desire to achieve to grow to succeed in a more
effective and desirable manner.
Leadership differences and motivation is the another topic of the leadership program in
which leaders of John & Lewis can reduce the gap between employees or motivation by different
manner. People always have a reason for which they perform the company task. In this process
leaders needs to understand the motivational needs in between employees. Through which they
performed the task in to more appropriate manner. It helps to deal with the different situations in

2015).
However, the leadership program explained about the leadership importance or how they
influenced employees towards the great performance. From the above leadership programme it

working ideological development areas.
By applying management program John & Lewis get more leaders which inspired by
others. Leadership styles and advantage will help more into the real world. That helps to manage
employee role and long term process to deal with challenging performance task.
The overall process or styles helps to developed the concept of leadership in within the
company organization. In retail sector these kinds of leadership is more necessary to deal with
the level of competition and goals. The concept of leadership is highly influenced or effective for
the management in order to perform the best development results (XU and ZHENG, 2016).
