Chapter 1_Introduction and Overview

TABLE 1-1 Definitions of Leadership

• Leadership is “the behavior of an individual . . . directing the activities of a group toward a shared goal”
(Hemphill & Coons, 1957, p. 7).
• Leadership is “the influential increment over and above mechanical compliance with the routine
directives of the organization” (Katz & Kahn, 1978, p. 528).
• Leadership is “the process of influencing the activities of an organized group toward goal
achievement” (Rauch & Behling, 1984, p. 46).
• “Leadership is about articulating visions, embodying values, and creating the environment within
which things can be accomplished” (Richards & Engle, 1986, p. 206).
• “Leadership is a process of giving purpose (meaningful direction) to collective effort, and causing
willing effort to be expended to achieve purpose” (Jacobs & Jaques, 1990, p. 281).
• Leadership “is the ability to step outside the culture . . . to start evolutionary change processes that
are more adaptive” (Schein, 1992, p. 2).
• “Leadership is the process of making sense of what people are doing together so that people will
understand and be committed” (Drath & Palus, 1994, p. 4).
• Leadership is “the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute
toward the effectiveness and success of the organization . . .” (House et al., 1999, p. 184).

TABLE 1-2 What Leaders Can Influence


• The choice of objectives and strategies to pursue.
• The motivation of members to achieve the objectives.
• The mutual trust and cooperation of members.
• The organization and coordination of work activities.

• The allocation of resources to activities and objectives.

• The development of member skills and confidence.


• The learning and sharing of new knowledge by members.
• The enlistment of support and cooperation from outsiders.
• The design of formal structure, programs, and systems.
• The shared beliefs and values of members.

Indicators of Leadership Effectiveness


Seperti definisi kepemimpinan, konsepsi efektivitas pemimpin berbeda dari satu penulis ke
yang lain. Kriteria yang dipilih untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas kepemimpinan mencerminkan
eksplisit atau tidaknya peneliti.

Sebagian besar peneliti mengevaluasi efektivitas kepemimpinan dalam hal konsekuensi


pengaruh terhadap satu individu, tim atau grup, atau organisasi.

a.Immediate and Delayed Outcomes (Hasil langsung Dan Hasil Tertunda)

Misalnya, keuntungan mungkin meningkat dalam jangka pendek dengan menghilangkan kegiatan mahal
yang memiliki efek tertunda pada laba, seperti pemeliharaan peralatan, penelitian dan pengembangan,
investasi dalam teknologi baru, dan pelatihan keterampilan karyawan. Dalam jangka panjang, efek
bersih dari memotong kegiatan-kegiatan penting ini mungkin terjadi menjadi keuntungan yang lebih
rendah karena konsekuensi negatif perlahan-lahan meningkat dan akhirnya lebih besar dari itu manfaat
apa pun.

Kebalikannya juga benar: peningkatan investasi dalam kegiatan ini kemungkinan akan berkurang
keuntungan langsung tetapi meningkatkan laba jangka panjang.

b. What Criteria to Use?

There is no simple answer to the question of how to evaluate leadership effectiveness. The selection of
appropriate criteria depends on the objectives and values of the person making the evaluation, and
people have different values. For example, top management may prefer different criteria than other
employees, customers, or shareholders.

Summary _2

The descriptive research found that managerial work is inherently hectic, varied, fragmented, reactive,
disorderly, and political. Brief oral interactions predominate, and many of these involve people outside
the manager’s immediate work unit and chain of command. Decision processes are highly political,
and most planning is informal and adaptive. This activity pattern occurs, in part, because managers face
several dilemmas. To carry out their responsibilities, managers need to obtain recent, relevant
information that exists only in the heads of people who are widely scattered within and outside the
organization; they need to make decisions based on information that is both overwhelming and
incomplete; and they need to get cooperation from people over whom they have no formal authority.
Identifying meaningful and widely applicable categories to describe the content of managerial work has
been a problem for a long time. One approach is the taxonomy of managerial roles proposed by
Mintzberg. Another approach is represented by job description research that asks managers to rate the
importance of different activities and responsibilities for their jobs.
Some of the descriptive research has examined differences in behavior related to aspects of the
managerial situation. Stewart identified several situational influences on leader behavior. The pattern of
interactions with subordinates, peers, superiors, and outsiders is affected by a manager’s dependency
on these people, by the demands they make on a manager, and by the type of work for which the
manager is responsible.
Comparative research on managers in different situations reveals several other aspects of the situation
that affect managerial behavior, including level of management, size of the organizational unit, lateral
interdependence, crisis conditions, and stage in the organizational life cycle. Managerial work is being
altered by sweeping societal trends such as globalization, workforce diversity, the pace of technological
change, and the emergence of new forms of organizations.
Despite all the demands and constraints a manager faces, some choice of behavior remains. Even
managers in similar positions define their roles differently. There are choices in what aspects of the job
to emphasize, how to allocate one’s time, and with whom to spend it. Managers will be more effective
if they understand the demands and constraints in their job situation, and work to expand their choices.
Finally, effective managers are more proactive in their behavior. Even when reacting to unforeseen
events, their behavior more closely reflects their objectives and priorities. Effective leaders devote time
to identifying current problems for which a solution can be found, and they prepare how to respond to
unavoidable but predictable problems and disruptions. When a problem occurs, they quickly identify the
cause and take decisive action to direct the work unit’s
response. Effective leaders also keep people informed about progress in efforts to deal with a serious
crisis. The next chapter examines leadership behavior embedded in these activities or occurring in
conjunction with them.

Summary_3

The early research on leader behavior was dominated by a focus on broadly defined meta-categories of
task-oriented behavior and relations-oriented behavior. Over a period of more than three decades,
hundreds of studies were conducted to see how the two types of behavior were correlated with criteria
of leadership effectiveness, such as subordinate satisfaction and performance. Many studies were also
conducted to test contingency theories that attempt to explain how leaders can adapt their task-
oriented and relations-oriented behaviors to changing situations (see Chapter 7 ).
Results from the survey research are weak and inconsistent, but when combined with results from
other methods such as critical incidents and experiments, a clearer picture emerges. The overall pattern
of results suggests that effective leaders have a high concern for task objectives and interpersonal
relationships, and they use specific types of behavior that are relevant for their leadership situation.
Examples of specific task-oriented behaviors include planning, clarifying, and monitoring. Examples of
specific relations-oriented behaviors include supporting, develop-ing, and recognizing. Specific task and
relations behaviors for leading groups and conducting meetings are described in Chapter 10 .
Another broadly-defined behavior category identified in the early leadership research is participative
leadership. It involves several types of decision procedures used by leaders to improve the quality of
decisions and commitment to implement them. These procedures and the subject of empowerment are
described in more detail in Chapter 5 .
Change-oriented leadership behavior is used to influence innovation, collective learning, and the
successful implementation of major changes in an organization. These behaviors are described in
Chapters 4 and 11 . Transformational leadership includes a mix of relations and change behaviors plus
some additional aspects of behavior not easily classified into other catego-ries. These behaviors are
discussed in Chapter 12 .
Boundary-spanning behaviors for leaders are another broad category that includes behav-iors used by
leaders in interactions with peers, superiors, and outsiders. Examples include networking,
environmental scanning, and representing.
