A Leader Guides or Directs with Vision, Charisma, and Care
There are four types of leaders authoritarian, democratic, laissez-faire, and transformative.
Women and men are perceived differently even when they display the same leadership styles.
When women display authoritarian, democratic, or laissez-faire leadership styles, they are perceived as bossy and demanding (authoritarian), too ineffective and wishy-washy (democratic), and too soft or incompetent (laissez-faire).
Although both women and men are effective leaders, men are more likely to assume the role of leader, and women are more likely to emerge as the social leader who contributes to higher morale and good interpersonal relations.
Certain Cultural Differences Strongly Influence the Ways People Think About Leaders
Influential factors include uncertainty avoidance, power and assertiveness, collectivism, gender, and a humane orientation.
Bullying is the repeated, unreasonable actions of individuals that are directed toward an employee and are intended to intimidate, degrade, humiliate, or undermine a person.
Bullying creates a hostile environment and presents a risk to the health or safety of the employee being bullied.
To Work Effectively in Groups, Begin by Identifying Group Goals, Determining Appropriate Group Structure, Gathering and Evaluating Information, Providing Options, and Maintaining a Civil Approach
To work effectively, understand the stages through which groups typically go: orientation, conflict, emergence, reinforcement, and dissolution.
Effective group work and teamwork also involve managing participation, avoiding pressures to conform, and preventing information overload.
All groups experience conflict as their members work together. The communication styles that contribute to conflict productively and unproductively are avoidance, accommodation, competition, compromise, and workplace democracy.
When You Solve Problems in Groups and Teams, Use Consensus, Voting, or Authority Rule
To solve problems or manage discussions in groups, use closed questions, open questions, affective questions, probing questions, and leading questions.
