TASK
‘Authentic leadership’ model to a change process
The framework of the authentic leadership model deals with transparency as well as
loyalty. Authentic leaders developed authentic relationships, as well as deal with the motivation
of their workers, take holder to maintain that trust with the management. The genuine leadership
model maintains open communication between the group as well as the leaders. It has wider-
reaching advantages in a particular term of the division. Workers' morale is also high when group
members find out about various issues and try to adapt suitable strategies to overcome them
(Diem et.al., 2022). On the other hand, productivity will also get maximised when the group
member performed together under an effective as well as a potential leader. Authentic leadership
also maintains healthy as well as competitive company culture by which it will develop a
positive brand image as well as goodwill in the field of the marketplace.

stakeholders as followed -
 Self-awareness - Authentic leaders have to maintain their weaknesses and try to
overcome them with their effective strength and as well as believe in respect to be more
relevant and as well as authentic with their staff faculty. Exercising self-awareness might
also involve self-reflection, asking for effective terms of response as well as the
awareness of the workers as well as take holders who are maintaining their dealings with
them.

 Balanced processing – At the time of managing the group decisions, authentic leaders
should take into consideration a time of helping as well as opposing the oriented
thoughts. This sort of procedure also motivates staff faculty as well as stakeholders to
share their oriented thoughts and as well as experiences that support them to neglect the
future term of issues.
 Relational transparency - Authentic leaders should be willing to be relevant and as well
as transparent in their business or management at a time of managing affected terms of
relationships and to be honest at a time of sharing their thoughts and as well as feelings. It
might also involve constructive feedback to the group members that is required at the
time of maintaining it (Flynn, 2022). By performing it the authentic leader will lead the
global term of the group with an effective term of transparency between the group and as
well as management.
 Internalized moral perspective - Authentic leaders manage the requirement of the
business of management over their own. An effective and success of business is because
of authentic leaders who have a primary target even when that maintains the leaders and
face an effective term of challenges with additional tasks and as well work sections.
Evaluate the role of transformational leadership in the change process.

interest events to the business of management by effective communication and it also covers
them in the procedure of the decision - making. It has been discussed that are as follows -
Transformational leadership – As per this style, a leader termed to perform with their group

goals in an effective period of time. By managing the motivation as well as the confidence of the

It might be more suitable to term that the transformation leaders are the effective
champion of the variation (Haslam et.al., 2022). They are the affected term of visionaries who
will have an impact and will also encourage the group for complex effectiveness in the business
performance. Transformation leaders of the effective term of importance to the growth of an

alignment or respective person with the mote of managing server term of managerial targets and
as well as developing a culture for increasing respected to impress the variation for the

As there are some of the fundamental functions that are performed by Transformational
Leaders to manage the change process that is as follows -

making sure that the vision is followed and as well as communicated across to all the

Great man theory
Great man theory of an administration termed as leaders are born with a particular term
of traits and as well as a characteristic that is not made. Always certain sort of aspects like charm
courage intelligence commanding attitude and many more that might not be learned or guided by
someone as this theory was presented by Thomas Carlyle in the 19th century. Thomas followed
that an effective leader is a combination of suitable motivation in affected terms of traits
(Sutherland et.al., 2022). It involves the aspect of a theory that stated fundamental exceptions
that are as follows -
Leaders are born with the leadership aspect that will help them to lead the global term of
management. Leadership has affected term or aspect of an individual that is sufficient for a
respective to develop impact on another as everyone does not have the skill to become an
effective leader and as well as a complete the future term of successful stop leaders are God
gifted individuals and they have affected term of dealing of managing particular term of aspect
that directly reflect in their terms of activity. An effective leader cannot be trained to become a
leader and they have already an effective term of aspect and as well as skills that develop success
criteria. As with it the leadership skill of the leaders might be get maximize or polished by the
education with an effective term of experience.
An individual becomes a leader only when there is a requirement. This sort of assumption
followed that an individual only deals with their leadership skill when there is a particular
situation that will arise.
This theory will concentrate on the leaders and as well as Thomas Carlyle terms skills of
leaders are inherent and the efficient leaders will not be developed as a character he is the one
who is applied by the leaders only that followed in the great man theory.

leader.

 The leadership theory is based on a respective person who has oriented thoughts and
noticed everything in the management. Effective leaders presented that they are the
fundamental drivers of the activities and leading the global term of situation that is
developed by leaders that will have an impact on others.
Limitations

external situations that will have an impact on the human aspect and as well as their
belief. This leadership theory does evaluate men as effective and as well as great leaders
but not women (Wang, and et.al., 2022).
 The leaders in the management are dealing and following the leadership skills by birth
and managing and learning all the leadership skills that make them an effective term of
leader and maintaining their group in the business also as with it might be a man of
women in the choosing management and maintaining all the roles and as well as
responsibilities.
Trait theory
The trait theory of leadership is evaluated as one of the oldest theories of leadership and it
might assume that leaders are born with particular hours as well as qualities that are suited for an
effective leader (Yu, and et.al., 2022). This theory was presented from the great man theory and
according to the theory, the leaders are the role model for the community as they deal with the
effective term of superiority comma courage and it will develop an impact on another respective.
As there are some of the traits are as follows -
 Desire to lead - An effective leader takes up the leading section and leads another
respective to success and they are also self-encouraged.
 Adaptability and flexibility - An effective leader has the scale to adapt the variation and
think out of the box with the motive of presenting managerial targets.
 Capacity to motivate – Motivated leaders follow their skills and encourage others and it
will have an impact on another person.
