The Servant Leader

Servant Leadership was coined by Robert

L Greenleaf in his essay written in 1970.
A Servant leader is on who puts others
before themselves.
As the word servant might imply, it is a
leader that acts like a servant to his
followers.
They naturally want to help others by
bringing the best out in them.

The main difference between a leader and a

servant leader, is that a servant leader
genuinely cares for other people. Their main
goal is to make sure that other people are
satisfied with their tasks, that they are
being pushed to their full capability, and
their highest priorities are being served.

themselves to each situation.
It all depends upon the followers readiness.

and connect with the leaders vision

Transactional Leader

The transactional leadership style was first

described by Max Weber in 1947 and again by
Bernard M. Bass in 1981.

Assumptions: This leadership style developed

by Bass is based on the hypothesis that
followers are motivated through a system of
rewards and punishment. The transactional
leader's view of the leader / follower
relationship is one of quid pro quo - or this for
that. If the follower does something good, they
will be rewarded. If the follower does
something wrong, they will be punished.

Transactional Leadership Agreements: At

the extreme, the only relationship that develops
between the transactional leader and the
follower is based on an unwritten agreement that
the sole purpose of the follower is to carry out
the wishes of the leader.

Style: The transactional leader works through

creating clear structures whereby it is clear what
is required of their subordinates, and the rewards
that they get for following orders. Punishments
are not always mentioned, but they are also wellunderstood and formal systems of discipline are
usually in place

Types of Transactional Leaders: The types

of transactional leaders described by theorists
include categories such as Opinion Leaders,
Group Leaders, Governmental / Party Leaders,
Legislative Leaders and Executive Leaders.

Transactional Leadership and Women:

Study conducted by Northwestern University
with respect to transactional, transformational,
and laissez fair leadership styles.

The Quiet Leader

The Quiet Leader does not require being in

a controlling position.

They are everyday people that are trying to

make the most of their lives.

Heroism is used only as a last resort

Qualities of Silent Leader

The Quiet Leader recognizes the scope of
his/her control, and the limit of their ability
to predict the future.
The Quiet Leader has some skin in the
game so they take their self interest
seriously.
The Quiet Leader does not make in instant
decisions, but thinks things through.
The Quiet Leader tries to find the middle
ground when possible.

Why are they Important?

Regular leadership leaves out the majority
of people
Heroic leadership ignores everyday
challenges
Is it what we can all strive to be

Charismatic Leader

Charismatic leaders
Communicate on a very powerful and
emotional level
Have a personal charm that gives a
favorable impression and therefore are trust
worthy
Are able to inspire enthusiasm, affection,
and loyalty

Key Qualities
Optimistic and passionate about life
They value the potential that they believe
each person has
They give hope.
They share themselves

This type of leader is especially useful in

times of crisis and a major turn around

Conclusion

Remember, good leaders utilize all three styles

depending upon the situation. For example:

Use anauthoritative styleif a group member lacks

knowledge about a certain procedure.

Use aparticipative stylewith group members who

understand the objectives and their role in the task.

Use adelegative styleif the group member knows

more than you do about the task.
