THE INTERACTIONAL APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP


The important of leadership style is clearly not enough to explain about successful leadership. Research started to consider additional factors. They distinguished between two categories of leadership behavior, namely behavior focused on:

§  Relationships with others, which requires communication and rapport with other , showing consideration  respect and trust.
§  Task oriented, which requires deciding priorities, identifying weaknesses, creating plans, assigning individuals to tasks and keeping them on task.


Relationship with others develops interpersonal relationships, keep open lines of communication, and maintain positive social interactions. Everyone is involved and feeling good whereas task-oriented leaders primarily work to get the task done and meet their objectives. People can change from a relationship-oriented style to a task-oriented style and vice versa depending on the situation. If a coach feels more comfortable with one type of leadership style than other, he should seek out situations where this style would be more effective.

Thus, effective leadership was seen as depending on other factors such as the particular situation at the time and the type of people who were being ‘led’. In other words, an interactional approach developed.
