Leadership - Bureaucratic Style The Bureaucratic Leadership Style was one of three leadership styles described by Max Weber (1947). The bureaucratic leadership style is based on following normative rules and adhering to lines of authority. The Bureaucratic Leader is actually not even considered by modern management to be leadership at all and often distinguish it in the literature as “management”VS “leadership”. Bureaucratic leadership is where the manager manages “by the book¨. This manager is really more of a police officer than a leader. He or she equates enforcing the rules as effective “leadership”... Ifitisn’tcoveredbythebook,theBureaucraticLeaderreferstothenext level above him or her. You will often find this leadership role in a situation where the work environment is dangerous and specific sets of procedures are necessary to ensure safety. The characteristics of the bureaucratic style include:     

This style of leadership follows a close set of standards. Leaders impose strict and systematic discipline on the followers and demand business-like conduct in theworkplace Everything must be done according to procedure or policy and if there is no firm policy then additional administrative structures and procedures must be implemented. Leaders are empowered via the office they hold - position power and to ensure everything is done in an exact, specific way to ensure safety and/or accuracy. Followers are promoted based on their ability to conform to the rules of the office Follower should obey leaders because authority is bestowed upon the leader as part of their position in thecompany

Weber was the first to distinguish between Transforming style of leaders and bureaucratic leaders. Weber also believed that most leaders exhibited multiple characteristics of all three styles in their day to day managerial activities and use different styles based on the situation and the employee’s attitude. Benefits of Bureaucratic Leadership In the working world bureaucratic leadership skills would be best utilized in jobs such as construction work, chemistry-related jobs that involve working with hazardous material, or jobs that involve working with large amounts of money.In school work, you may find that bureaucratic

leadership skills are necessary when working on a group project for a science class. Precision is key in a science project, and meticulous notes are essential. A natural bureaucratic leader will tend to create detailed instructions for other members of a group. This type of leader would also be very successful working in student government roles. This style can be effective when:  



Employees are performing routine tasks over and over and need to understand certain regulatory standards or safetyprocedures. Employees are workingwith dangerous or delicate equipment that requires a definite set of procedures to operate especially where safety orsecurity training is critical Employees are performing tasks that require handling cash of financial activities of a detailed nature where even seemingly minor errors could be significant.

This style is ineffective when:  

 

Workhabitsandprocessesneedtoadapttonew“bestpractices”butthe old ways of doing things are hard to break, even if they are clearly no longer useful. Employees lose their interest in their jobs and in their fellowworkers. Employees are at work because they absolutely need the pay but dislike their day to day work activities and perform their role with little emotional engagement. Employees only motivated to do the absolute minimal expected of them and no more … even the opportunity for additional overtimethat generates additional personal income is seen as an intrusion.

Laissez-Faire Leadership Style Thelaissez-faireleadershipstyleisalsoknownasthe“hands-off¨style. Itis one in which the manager provides little or no direction and gives employees as much freedom as possible. All authority or power is given to the employees and they must determine goals, make decisions, and resolve problems on theirown.

Laissez-faire ("let do") Leadership It works when:    

Employees are highly skilled, experienced, andeducated. Employees have pride in their work and the drive to do it successfully on their own. Outside experts, such as staff specialists or consultants are beingused Employees are trustworthy andexperienced.

Leadership Styles Leadership style is the manner and approach of providing direction, implementing plans, and motivating people. There are normally three styles of leadership.

Authoritarian (autocratic) This style is used when the leader tells her employees what she wants done and how she wants it done, without getting the advice of her followers.

Participative (democratic) This is normally used when you have part of the information, and your employees have other parts. Note that a leader is not expected to know everything. Using this style is of mutual benefit -- it allows them to become part of the team and allows you to make betterdecisions. Delegative (free reign) This is used when employees are able to analyze the situation and determine what needs to be done and how to do it. This is not a style to use so that you can blame others when things go wrong, rather this is a style to be used when you have the full trust and confidence in the people below you. Do not be afraid to use it, however, use itwisely!

FORCES A good leader uses all three styles, depending on what forces are involved between the followers, the leader, and the situation. Leadership

A good leader give others credit after successes but taking personal responsibility for failures. TYPES OF NEEDS Maslow believed that these needs are similar to instincts and play a major role in motivating behavior. Physiological, security, social, and esteem needs are deficiency needs (also known as D-needs), meaning that these needs arise do to deprivation. Satisfying these lower-level needs is important in order to avoid unpleasant feelings orconsequences. Physio logical Needs These include the most basic needs that are vital to survival Security Needs These include needs for safety and security. Social Needs These include needs for belonging, love and affection. Esteem Needs These include the need for things that reflect on self-esteem, personal worth Self – actualizing Needs This is the highest level of Maslow´s hierarchy of needs. Self – actualizing people are self-aware, concerned with personal growth, less concerned with the options of others, and interested fulfilling theirpotential.
