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.
