Leadership

A manager’s role is to organise the plans of the business while the leader motivates the staff. The manager is fully in control of the business and he/she is held accountable for what so ever happens in the organisation whereas a leader is something like a role model because of their work force and sets trend for every worker to pursue. But the manager must ensure that their leaders are well motivated and inspired. A leader is very important because they hold the key to the success of the organisation. Example is teacher (leader), the headmaster (manager) and the students. The teacher holds the key to the success of the school.

The managerial grid is used to identify and categorize a person’s leadership style. This grid is about positioning a leader in a “task versus person” orientation. It is a model of behavioural leadership. The managerial grip is a base on two dimensions; people and production. In the people dimension the leader is orientated on the team members, where he takes into consideration their needs, interests, and personal development. In the production dimension the leader is favouritism to the aim of production, concrete object and efficiency. Well when I use to work for Gap, the leadership style is more of production because they made staff attend work early in the morning, there are no tea breaks. The leaders focus on concrete objectives, organizational efficiency and high productivity when deciding how best to accomplish a task, they forget that it is the team members that can accomplish the assignment given.
