Full Range Leadership Model
Leadership is best assessed on a spectrum and we do this using the Full Range Leadership model. This model gives us 9 leadership behaviours that can be measured and modeled or avoided.
Transformational Leadership is the ability to provide shared values and a vision for the future for the work group. This is achieved through 4 behaviours:
Idealised Influence:
This involves inspiring followers to achieve goals beyond their self-interests, being a positive role model and creating a vision that is perceived worthy of effort. These leaders are respected and admired by subordinates.
Individualised Consideration:
This involves paying attention to the needs and concerns of followers, developing and helping the follower to grow by promoting learning, and being concerned with the individual.
Intellectual Stimulation:
This is the creation of curiosity and innovation within the teams, challenge the norms and traditional ways of doing things and eliciting follower input.
Transactional Leadership is based on some transaction, such as exchanging money for work.
This is modelled in 2 behaviours:
- Contingent reward: is where leaders agree with followers the tasks to be completed and clearly articulate performance expectations in exchange for rewards.
- Management by exception is a corrective form of leadership and measures the extent that a leader intervenes with the follower.
- Active is when the leader seeks out errors or issue in the output and then acting
- Passive is the leader waiting for things to go wrong before becoming active.
