The Trait Approach <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The trait approach is concerned with determining the personal characteristics of good leaders. It basically asks the question-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>\u2018Who makes a good leader?\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This theory states that some people make better leaders than others. It means that leaders have traits, physical and personality characteristics, competencies, and values, and these traits are consistent over time. Recent studies have found that effective leaders are high on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypsychology.org\/big-five-personality.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BIG 5 Personality traits.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-the-leader-behavior-approach\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Leader_Behavior_Approach\"><\/span><strong>2. The Leader Behavior Approach<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach focuses on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/modern-leadership-and-the-art-of-communication\/\">leadership style<\/a> adopted rather than the individual characteristics or traits of the leader. Thus it asks the question-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>&nbsp;\u2018What makes a good leader?\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Leadership style in this approach consists of:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>1) Participative:<\/strong> <\/em>wherein the leader asks for advice and seeks the input of his\/her subordinates. Multiple studies state that participative leadership style positively affects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/330248723_Effect_of_participative_leadership_style_on_employees_productivity\">employee productivity<\/a>, trust, and performance-boosting the overall morale of the organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>2) Autocratic\/ Directive<\/strong><\/em>: Here the leader does not involve subordinates in decision making. The decision is made and just announced to the group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>3) Achievement:<\/strong><\/em> This style of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/improving-leadership-skills-at-work\/\">leadership skills<\/a> involves emphasizing achievement and good performance. It includes setting challenging task goals and emphasizing high-performance standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A landmark study, <em>The Ohio State Leadership Studies<\/em> conducted in 1945 studied the effects of specific supervisory behaviors of leaders on their subordinates. The results determined two important elements in leadership:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a. <em>Consideration-<\/em> The amount of concern the leader shows for the happiness and welfare of their subordinates. Thus, it encourages a positive<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/why-to-ace-organizational-climate\/\"> organizational climate <\/a>and more engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b. <em>Initiating structure-<\/em> This is the extent to which the supervisor makes clear what is expected out of the subordinates. This helps increase task management and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/team-building-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">team building<\/a>, ensures effective communication, and reduces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/getting-into-heart-of-conflict-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conflict.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-contingency-theory\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Contingency_Theory\"><\/span><strong>3. Contingency Theory<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Contingency Theory by Fiedler and Path-Goal theory by House and Mitchell assumes that good leadership is the interplay of the person, the leader\u2019s behavior, and the situation. Thus it asks the question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>\u2018 Under a given condition, who will be a good leader and what behavior is likely to be effective?\u2019&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-leader-member-exchange-theory-lmx\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Leader-Member_Exchange_Theory_LMX\"><\/span>4. <strong>Leader-Member Exchange Theory&nbsp; (LMX)<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The LMX theory points out that leadership can be fully understood by focusing attention on the unique interactions of a supervisor with each subordinate. Transformational leadership has a similar outlook, where some leaders have a profound influence on the attitudes, behaviors, and values of subordinates. Thus, it asks an important question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>\u2018 How does the interaction between supervisor and subordinate affect the subordinate\u2019s behavior?\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Most Fortune 500 companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Amazon, Ford, etc. have found their roots in transformational leadership. The reason being, this leadership style <a href=\"https:\/\/fbj.springeropen.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s43093-020-00043-8\">intrinsically motivates <\/a>employees; thus, they are more than willing to go the \u2018extra mile\u2019 for the company and look up to the leaders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">In a study, it is observed that employees who have a good relationship with their employers perceive their jobs as less stressful, have more job satisfaction and organizational commitment which benefits both employees and the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-the-vroom-yetton-model\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_Vroom-_Yetton_Model\"><\/span><strong>5. The Vroom- Yetton Model<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a model for decision-making in a working group. The Vroom-Yetton Contingency Model, developed by Victor Vroom and Phillip Yetton (with additional collaboration by Arthur Jago) bases <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fireengineering.com\/articles\/print\/volume-167\/issue-8\/features\/ethical-decision-making-it-s-everyone-s-job.html\">decision making<\/a> on situational leadership that can be used by just about anyone, regardless of rank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, it suggests that the best way to make a decision is to base it on the current situation or problem; not the personal traits or style of the decision-maker.&nbsp; The Vroom-Yetton model identifies five possible decision-making styles that suggest varying personal involvement from \u2018completely autocratic\u2019 to \u2018acceptance without direct <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fireengineering.com\/articles\/print\/volume-160\/issue-7\/features\/power-and-influence-a-guide-for-fire-officers.html\">influence<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-engagewith-leadership-helps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_EngageWith_Leadership_Helps\"><\/span>How EngageWith Leadership Helps?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leadership can be tricky but don\u2019t worry. EngageWith can help you tailor decision-making and leadership personalized to your organization using theories and data for better plans and actionable results.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/engagewith\/\">EngageWith uses pulse surveys<\/a> to gather feedback and leadership data from teams, departments, or the entire organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How EngageWith helps build more empathetic leaders?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It is <em>Short<\/em>: You don\u2019t want 5 pages of a survey unexpectedly on a Tuesday morning, right?
