This document discusses various leadership styles and concepts, including:
- Charismatic leadership, which influences followers through supernatural gifts and attractive powers. It has two types: visionary and crisis-based.
- Transactional leadership, where the leader helps followers achieve goals through contingent rewards and management by exception.
- Transformational leadership, which inspires followers to achieve more through vision, changes to mission/operations, and human resource management.
- Lean leadership focuses on influence, example-setting, knowledge, engagement, and building systems to empower people without waste. The key skills for lean leaders are people skills, conceptual skills, and technical skills.

If “managing” is about thinking...
…then “leading” is about
getting other people to think.
4. What is Leadership?
Leadership – the process of influencing others to facilitate
the attainment of organizationally relevant goals
*One does not have to be in a formal leadership position in
order to exert leadership behavior
6. Charismatic Leadership
- The ability to influence followers based on a supernatural
gift and attractive powers
- Charismatic leaders are those who have charismatic effects
on their followers to an unusually high degree
- Followers enjoy being with the charismatic leader because
they feel inspired, correct, and important
7. Charismatic Leadership:
Two Types
Visionary charismatic leaders – focus on the long term
- Through communication ability, links followers’ needs and
goals to job or organizational long-term goals and
possibilities
Crisis-based charismatic leaders – focus on the short-term
- Have an impact when the system must handle a situation for
which existing knowledge, resources, and procedures are
not adequate
9. Transactional Leadership
- The leader helps the follower identify what must be done to
accomplish the desired results
- The leader takes into consideration the person’s self-
concept and esteem needs
- The leader relies on contingent reward and on management
by exception
10. L: Recognizes what F
must do to attain
designated outcomes
L: Recognizes what F
needs
L: Clarifies how F’s need
fulfillment will be
exchanged for enacting
role to attain designated
outcomes
F: Recognizes value of
designated outcomes
(need-fulfilling value
for F)
L: Clarifies F’s Role
F: Feels confidence in
meeting role requirements
(subjective probability
of success) F: Develops motivation
to attain desired outcomes
(expected effort)
Transactional Leadership
L = Leader
F = Follower
11. Transformational Leadership
- Ability to inspire and motivate followers to achieve results
greater than originally planned
- The leader’s vision provides the follower with motivation for
hard work that is self-rewarding
- To achieve their vision, transformational leaders make major
changes in the firm’s or unit’s:
- Mission
- Way of doing business
- Human resource management

17. The Bottom Line
The currency of leadership is
presence.
Where leaders spend their time
determines what is important to
their organization
18. Lean Leadership
1- Leaders must define the organization’s vision in a way that
highlights the values of their group
2- Leaders must support people’s efforts to achieve the shared
vision through coaching, feedback, and role modeling
3- A leader should recognize and reward success
Good leaders motivate people in a variety of ways,
three of which are the basis to the “lean” approach.
19. Lean Leadership
The Lean Leader leads a very different way:
- By influence
by example of good thinking
by being knowledgeable
by getting into the messy details
by questioning
by coaching and teaching
- By building robust, sensible systems and processes that
cascade responsibility & enable people to work
effectively and without waste of their time and effort

27. Organization Change
- Don’t expect that you can change your organization unless you’re
the CEO/President but your area of responsibility will improve.
- Change happens in the trenches but must be lead from the top.
- You can almost guarantee world class success in those areas of the
organization that you lead.
- Lead change only in those areas where you can exert significant
and long lasting influence, helps spread the word to other areas.
If you wish to change an organization you must be intimately aware
of group dynamics and resistance to change and must appreciate
that you’re up against an unthinking, self organizing system.
