learning resources over another style.
As the project manager of J & J furnishing for the upcoming project I will be
choosing the style of leadership that is mentioned in the module because this type of
leadership style will focus mainly on the efficiency and results of the project. I will take into
account the ideas and thoughts of the employees in order to understand and analyze their
issue and also make them fill up feedback form in order to resolve their issues and in turn
increase their productivity. The employees will have the authority to share their thoughts and
ideas, which will ensure them their importance in the organization (Antonakis & Day, 2017).
It can be also beneficial for the employees who needs supervision in their tasks. This type of
leadership style will help the organization as they have strict rules and guidelines to complete
the tasks. This type of leadership has a very powerful ability for driving progress by inspiring
employees and earning trust for the new ideas. It will also help to complete the tasks within
the stipulated deadline. It will be also possible to build strong organizational bond with the
employees and foster confidence among the employees. This type of leadership is actually
suitable for the fast growing organizations like these who are looking for a restructuring of
the organizational setting. It will also help me to understand and analyze the mind-set of the
people and make sure that the employees feel content personally and professionally. The
employees would thus, be more effective in producing great work on a regular basis. This
type of leadership will also help the business to process the orders within the stipulated time
and also help to increase the credibility and brand image of the company by maintaining the
quality of work by inspiring the employees to work for the betterment of the organization.
This type of leadership will help to mitigate the risk of losing sales due to the increased
competition in the market (Nanjundeswaraswamy & Swamy, 2014). This can be done by
introducing various new ways of marketing in order to enhance the brand image of the
