Definitions of Leadership are somewhat elusive. Warren Bennis writes in On Becoming a Leader that "leadership is like beauty: it's hard to define, but you

know it when you see it"; and that "The ingredients of leadership cannot be taught. They must be learned.” It is a relationship through which one person influences the behavior or actions of other people.

Leadership is, however, a dynamic process and the leader/follower relationship is reciprocal.

HILL’S MODEL

Self-leadership is the practice of intentionally influencing your thinking, feeling and behaviors to achieve your objective/s (Bryant & Kazan 2012)

Self-leaders have a drive for autonomy, can make decisions, are more creative and persist, even in the face of adversity.

Some of the intentional behaviors that characterize Self-leadership are; self-awareness, self-goal setting, self-motivation, positive self-talk, assertive

communication and the ability to receive and act on feedback.

Becoming a Self-leader and maintaining Self-leadership is a self-development activity; but organizations that encourage Self-leadership reap the benefit.

It provides strong

motivation to the

manager

Leaders do not entertain any suggestions or

initiatives from subordinates

All decision-making powers are centralised

in the leader

autocraticIt permits quick decision-

making, as only one person decides for the whole group and keeps each decision to

himself until he feels it needs to be shared with

the rest of the group.

It practices social

equality

It promotes interests of the group members

This has also been

called shared leadership.

democraticThe democratic leadership style

consists of the leader sharing the decision-making abilities with

group members

The subordinates are motivated to be creative and

innovative.

A person may be in a leadership position without providing leadership, leaving the group to fend

for itself.

laissez faire

Subordinates are given a free hand in deciding

their own policies and methods.

The narcissism may range from

anywhere between

healthy and destructive

This leader exhibits the

characteristics of a narcissist: arrogance,

dominance and hostility

Their priority is themselves at the expense of

their group members

The leader is only

interested in himself

narcissisticTo critics, "narcissistic leadership (preferably

destructive) is driven by unyielding arrogance, self-absorption, and a

personal egotistic need for power and admiration."

A toxic leader is someone who abuses the leader–follower relationship by

leaving the group or organization in a worse-off condition than when

he/she joined it.

TOXIC

task and relationshipTask-oriented leader is focused on the tasks that need to be performed in order to meet a certain production goal They are generally more concerned with producing a step-by-step solution for given problem Not concerned with the idea of catering to group members, and more concerned with acquiring a certain solution to meet a production goal For this reason, they typically are able to make sure that deadlines are met, yet their group members' well-being may suffer.

Relationship-oriented leadership is a contrasting style in which the leader is more focused on the relationships amongst the group Leader is more concerned with the overall well-being and satisfaction of group members Focused on developing the team and the relationships in it The positives being that team members are more motivated and have support However, the emphasis on relations as opposed to getting a job done might make productivity suffer.
