2. Critical evaluation the strengths and limitations of appropriate models and theories of
leadership in organisational contexts.
Leadership theories gives the ideas to organization that which types of theories using in
the workplace to managing the people (Haojie and Zhi, 2019). Thus, there are certain importance
of leadership theories that helps to identified the personal catachrestic,and behaviour of the
leaders. Therefore, Leadership theories describe the catachrestic of the leader that means leader
must have characteristics which typically define leaders skills and ability. Some theories
Describe that leader have some qualities and abilities to perform the role of leader (Ritonga,
M.W.A.N., Ibrahim and Bahri, 2019). There are different types of leadership theories such as
Trait Theories, Contingency Theories, Situational Theories, Behavioural Theories etc.

Trait Theories
This Theory also called as Great Man theories, This theory describe and focus on identifying
the different personality and characteristics of person that they have ability of taking the
responsibility as an leader. Thus, traits and characteristics is define the leadership styles that
which type of style person can adopt according to the different situation (Kodden and Roelofs,
2019). Thus, Curwen Primary School can used this theory in the business in order to identify the
particular behaviour. In this theory it describe that the specific traits describe the specific
behaviour of the people and this behaviour of patterns are using in different situation. Therefore,
according to this leadership theory there are different types of traits that leader have in their
style which include different leadership such as - Task competence, Capacity to motivate
people, Trustworthiness, Creativity, Intelligence and action-oriented judgement, Adaptability
and flexibility etc.
Strength s
 I have ability to influence other with my communication skills.
 I have capacity to motivate the people.
 I have the ability to take the right decision at the right time
 I have ability to manage the Group members by honesty and integrity (Sims and Carter,
2019).
weakness
 I am not capable for multitasking
 I am not control my emotions easily
Contingency Theories
This theory focus on particular situation that means this theory describe that leader have ability
to manage their skills according to the particular situation (Ahlström and Dahl, 2019).
Therefore, this theory is suitable for every situation because leader easily adopt the different
situation and use the effective leadership to achieve the objective of overall task. In this theory
it describe that leader change their behaviour according to the different situation . For example,
leader balance the behaviour between needs, and context. Thus, a good leader have ability to
mange the people and understand the people by assessing the needs of their followers and co-

workers. Thus, by identified the actual situation leaders make the decision that which types of
style and behaviour suitable for the particular situation and, then they adjust their behaviours
accordingly. Therefore, this is the best and easy theory because this theory and accept of
leadership is suitable for every situation so many organization used this theory in the business in
order to accomplish the particulate task and activity (Henkel, Marion Jr and Bourdeau, 2019).
Thus, Curwen Primary School can used this theory in the work place in order to implement this
theory in different station that helps to managing all the activity of the organization. In this
theory in every situation that helps to achieve the overall objective of the organization. Success
depends on a number of variables including the leadership style, qualities of the followers and
aspects of the situation
Strength
 I have ability to understand the people by assessing the needs of co-workers.
 I have ability to analyse the different situations and then take the appropriate decision.
Weaknesses
 The way of choosing the leadership is style is makes the difficulties for me because it
creates the Confusion .
Situational Theories - Situational theories described that which types of situation is suitable for
the leaders that means leader use their knowledge and experience in related to the different
situation that helps to make the best decision. The main purpose of this theory it is that leaders
choose the best action based on different situations that helps to reach the end result. leader
taking the decision related to the situational variables and they takes the best course of action
(Vaagaasar, Müller and De Paoli, 2019). According to this theory it described that different
leadership style is suitable for this theory because different styles is more appropriate for
certain types of decision-making. For example, There is situation situation where the leader
have high knowledgeable and experienced about the work so, authoritarian style is the best and
suitable for this situation. In other words, where group members are skilled experts, a democratic
style would be more effective. Thus, Curwen Primary School can used this theory in the work
place in order to solve the difficult problem by using the appropriate leadership style.
Strength

 I have a good time management skills that helps me to find the best solution related to
the different situation.
weakness
 This is the complex theory so I am not able to find that which leadership style is suitable
for the particular situation.
Behavioural Theories
This theory describe Behavioural approach of leaders. Thus, this theory based upon the belief.
Attitudes of the leaders it described that leaders are made, not born. This leadership theory
describe that how people maintain their behaviours in order to achieve the particular task .
Therefore, this leadership theory focuses on the actions of leaders that means the action of leader
is appropriate for the decision or not, and also leader use their knowledge and experience to
work effectively and achieve the organizational goal. this action is not on mental qualities or
internal states (Endriulaitienė Morkevičiūtė and Jočienė, 2019). According to this theory, people
can learn to become leaders through teaching and observation. Thus, Curwen Primary School
can used this theory in the work place in order to identify the specific solution of the problem
and also identify the behaviour of the people for the specific situation.
Strength
 I have ability to distribute the work and responsibilities among the team so that they can
be able to achieve it with the help of relationship and cooperative teamwork
Weakness
 I am not able to identify the appropriate behaviour of the pole so it difficult to analyse
the behaviour of people.

Compare and contrast the leadership styles and approaches
Leadership style is the manner and approach that aids to provide direction, implementing
plans and motivating people. Therefore, leadership style defines the behavioural patterns that

leader adopts to influence the behavioural of his followers. Thus, better and effective leadership
provides direction to his subordinates and encourage them to accomplish the given objective.
This term plays effective role in having enhancement in growth of an enterprise (Gronn and
Ribbins, 2018).
In addition to this, leadership styles are the behavioural patter that leader adopts this
power to influence the behaviour of the leaders. It is one of the effective term as it provides the
direction to the subordinates and motivates people to accomplish given objective within the
enterprise (Graen, Rowold and Heinitz, 2017).
Therefore, this is defined as process that aids to influence the behaviour of people and
bring out better performance within them. Leader has to choose the most effective and efficient
approach of leadership style on depending on situation. Henceforth, there are number of
leadership style that are defined in following manner as are-
Transaction leadership- It is term that defined as to classify the group of theories of leadership
that inquires the interaction between followers and leaders. Therefore, the style of leadership is
very attractive as it aids to improve job satisfaction under this theory of leadership. They are able
to practice theory as management by exception (Eagly, Johannesen-Schmidt and Van Engen,
2017). Thus, CEO of the Whitbread used this approach as it manage true leadership styles and
also put focus on short term task. In this, the leaders has limited knowledge based or creative
work. It the leadership style that seeks to motivate and inspire workers so that they perform their
best in order to bring out best from the enterprise. Therefore, the transactional leadership style is
one of the most effective techniques as its encouraged people. Henceforth, transactional leaders
evaluate the subordinates in manner that they meet defined requirements and expected results.
This is the leadership that aids to bring out the best within the individual so that effective and
efficient performance can be conducted (Barr and Dowding, 2019).
Autocratic leadership- This is the leadership style in which all decision making power are
centralised in the leaders. It is defined as an extreme form of the transactional leadership in
which leaders exerts the high level of power over the employees and team members. Henceforth,
I have used this approach at time of tackle some situation that needed urgent course of action. It
is the style that uses by me at time of dealing with daily routine task at which the advantage of
control outweigh the disadvantage. So, this is considered effective at time when decision are
needed to be taken equally. I have understood one limitation of this leadership style is that is

often leads to have high level of absenteeism and staff turnover. On the other hand, team output
does not benefit from the experience and creativity of the all team members. I have analysed that
this is the leadership style that gives high level of power over his employers and team members.
Hence, this aids to brings out the best within the employees.
Transformational leadership- This is termed out as one of the most effective leadership style as
it aids to create valuable and positive change within the followers ( Günzel-Jensen, Hansen and
Wulff, 2018). Therefore, with the use of it people help each other and look out for each other.
They are the leaders who work as to motivates and encourages its team with the shared vision of
the future. Henceforth, there are many enterprise that requires the both transactional and
transformational leadership styles. Therefore, CEO of the Whitbread uses the transformation
leadership style in terms to transforming others to help each other. By enhancing motivation
morale and performance of the follower group the all things within the enterprise can be
conducted in better and effective manner. This is one of the effective approach that aids to ensure
that routine work that can be conducted reliably and helps to create the new value to enterprise.
Henceforth, CEO of the Whitbread adopted this approach as it states that this helps to delegate
the responsibility equally among the team member.
Therefore, this approach of performance bring out the better improved way of working. It
is the model in which leader sets out his vision for the enterprise and inspires others to perform
their best and to long term goals to the enterprise. He has taken this approach as he thinks that
the leaders are highly visible and spend a lot of time communicating with the team members.
Thus, leader delegates the responsibility among the team members and this leads to achieve high
performance within the enterprise. The main purpose of taking this approach is to bring out the
best from the employees and encourage them to have better and improved future vision. This is
the leadership style that supports to undertake all the activities that is infectious as they needs to
be supported by the detail people. This is the approach that leads leader to work as to identify the
changes, creating the vision to guide the change and execute the change effective so that
altogether all thing can be conducted effectively (Lam, Taylor and Zhao, 2018). Henceforth, it
can be stated that transformational leadership is one of the most inspiring theory. Thus,
transformational leaders responded with the feelings of trust, loyalty, admiration and creates the
vision that guides leader to perform all work effectively.
