A manager who is the leader of a Branch probably approaches subordinates in different ways to exercise leadership over them. For example, a manager may say, "Let's get on with our jobs or "I'm counting on you for this job," and so on.
How do the subordinates respond to such approaches? The responses of subordinates can be considered as having two phases.
In the first phase, we can evaluate whether or not the purpose of the manager is accomplished as he or she intended; in other words, whether the manager's approach succeeded or failed. Although it will probably be rare for any manager to fail completely, subordinates can cleverly cut corners.
In the second phase, we can evaluate the degree of subordinates satisfaction when the manager succeeded, whether the subordinates worked willingly or reluctantly. If they work reluctantly, the effect will probably not last long. The kind of influence which makes subordinates work willingly is an effective one. That is, leadership which can respond to the needs of the company and satisfy the needs of subordinates is effective leadership.
I totally agree with you comment. In simple words we should our unique culture in our own Branch. you will be the superior so its you call. i like the comment "Let's get on with our jobs or "I'm counting on you for this job," and so on.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
And of course the second phase comment which will definitely make you an effective leader......
ReplyDeleteAlthough manager has the authority, it's our call how do we use it. Getting work done through other people is not an easy task. But if we know how to use our set of wordings in the correct way at the correct time, we will be in a better position. Thereby effective leader should always use correct set of words to be more effective.
