Typical leadership
• Transactional leadership-
This leadership form is majorly focussed on the tact of supervision where the
leaders adopting this particular approach tends to encourage compliance at
work.
This involves the use of both rewards and punishments by reactive leaders
with a prime agenda of focussing on the work performance.
In healthcare settings, this form of leadership is concerned about the
attainment of organisational goals that also involves yet another prime
consideration of attending the health of local population.
• Transformational leadership-
This is yet another effective style of leadership that is highly supported in the
health care settings due to its laid down emphasis on the morals, values,
ideals and needs of the followers.
It is with more proactive approach that involves more than one leader with a
prime focus on invention.
In health care settings like Care UK, it is expected to create a multidisciplinary
group approach towards provisioning care to the patients.

Functional leadership
• Action centred leadership- This leadership style is focussed on the activities of a leader and is
proposed by John Adair who believes that an effective leader must possess a great command
on 3 definite areas that are-
Accomplishment of the task- This reflects the foremost agenda of a leader
that depicts a feasible and tangible objective of the entire team. This is
basically to be aware of the goals required to be achieved as a
common agenda of all involved members.
Handling the group- It is yet another known aspect of attaining an
assigned work. Herein, the leader should be enough capable of
managing the group in a way that all involved participants should
work towards the achievement of a common goal.
Managing the team members- This is with a main agenda of engaging all
involved members of the group as a prime concern of the leader. It is
to assure that the individuals are not losing their own set of identity
and are motivated towards the achievement of the allotted tasks.

who creates resonance are more effective in comparison to others.
It further depicts that effective leaders are familiar with others
feelings and thus moves them in a favourable emotional direction.
However, the resonance can be created in 6 distinct ways that
specifies 6 different styles of leadership.
A good leader will be able to make an easy switch among the below
mentioned leadership styles to handle a specific situation.

vision and tries to move the individuals towards their
shared dreams.
It is applicable in need of some radical change in Care UK
with a clear direction or new vision of the leader.

It involves leaders who have effective listening skills with
clear identification of individual’s strengths and
weaknesses and are stated to be the best counsellor.
Such type of leaders in Care UK can assist the competent
as well as inspired workers to enhance their performance
by creating long term abilities.
Affiliative:
Such kind of leaders are very cordial in nature with good
empathetic skills that helps them to build up the morale
of workers and resolve disputes at work.

excellent skills of listening and collaborating in team
works.

4.2 Analyse how working relationships may be managed
• Leaders play a significant role in maintaining effective relationships at the
workplace that mostly depends on the way of allocating tasks along with
the process of team handling.
• This needs an employee friendly environment at work where each
individual will have clear set of roles and responsibilities and will be aware
of the common organisational goals to be attained.
• Also, equality should be a prime consideration of the leaders in Care UK
who must treat the workers in an unbiased manner and no partial outlook
towards allotting work to the teammates.
• Herein, the distributed tasks must meet the identified ability of the
individuals involved in the group work and instructed to be done within a
standardised working hour.

4.3 Evaluate how own development has been influenced
by management approaches encountered in own
experience
• This is to discourse upon my own development that has been greatly
influenced by various managerial approaches that I have encountered in
my own set of experiences.
• Although, I had a very good experience of working within a democratic
surrounding with transformational leaders, having assistive nature to guide
us.
• From which, I have acknowledged that an adopted management style has a
great impact on employee’s work.
• Apart from this, using contingency styles of leadership to act in accordance
to the situation is also of great help where a leader can easily handle
distinct situations at work.
