The Hersey-Blanchard model is based on the characteristics of followers to decide how to be an effective leader. You decide which leadership style to use based on the readiness of your followers. In this situation, Kevin is using entrusting style. The entrusting style is based on low relationship and low task behavior. He is concluding that his employees are in the very high readiness category. We conclude that this is an entrusting style due to the idea that Kevin left his employees alone to discuss the two issues of vacation schedules and production standards. Considering that he left the employees alone to discuss the issues shows that he believes his employees are of the very high readiness category. Due to the comment of Kevin needing …show more content…
Kevin should use the supporting style for future situations similar to the one presented in this passage. Kevin should call another meeting and facilitate this time. He should bring up the vacation schedules again and come up with a solution to the problem.
The Vroom-Jago contingency model is based upon participation of the leader. The leader faces a problem deciding on what to do about vacation schedules and productivity standards and then he or she decides how to solve the problem (an employee meeting where they discuss the issues). The leadership style used by Kevin is to delegate. The reason this falls into the delegate category as opposed to the facilitate category is because Kevin made a point to not be present during the discussion. It appears that in the past, Kevin used the leadership style of decide or consult individually. It seems that he normally made all the decisions on his own. He could have also consulted with some employees individually, but most likely not as a group. He seems to be inexperienced on how to approach the employees having a discussion as a group.

    Scenario Analysis: Internist's Dilemmas And Raising His Voice

    Hrm/531 Week 1

    The reason no one asked any questions is because Cree did not allow enough time for someone to get up the courage to speak up; typically, employees have a difficult time speaking in front of a supervisor (whom they have just met). Because Cree introduced the idea of rotating stations and posted the assignments before anyone had a chance to comment, employees did not feel empowered at the meeting. 5. Based on this first presentation, Cree has a style closely aligned to the Scientific Management approach; this style can be seen by her approach of standardizing the schedule and assignments, use of incentive pay (opportunity to get the good tables), and lack of participation in the decision(s) she made. 6.…

    Kelman's Three Forms Of Influence In Leadership

    Moreover, in Kelman’s analysis the three forms of influence such as compliance, identification, and internalization were all distinctively different, and geared toward changing one’s behavior that was accepted or approved by the organization. These forms of influence does not resonate with Collins as he saw them as a form of influence rather than the leader build up his or her momentum within the organization. The similarities between these two people were that they both shared the concepts of efficiency and consistency of action in the workplace as a means of influencing the team members. As a leader in the organization, the approaches that would resonate closely with my choosing would be building a culture of discipline. This approach would…

    Summary: Interprofessional Communication

    Interprofessional communication is the key when it comes to developing and identifying respect and appreciation for other health professionals, in order to provide the patient with well rounded care (Conn, Lingard, Reeves, Miller, Russell & Zwarenstein, 2009). Refined communication skills are essential for strong inter-professional interactions (Kairuz, & Bond, 2013). Our group was preselected so the initial stage of formation was rather smooth, but as we began to negotiate about the roles and allocate tasks there was slight tension between us all (Lingard, Resnick, Espin, Regehr, & DeVito, 2002), however this was resolved by working as a team. We were able to allocate certain roles as there was no other interest by people in the group to obtain that role, but the remaining roles were allocated by elimination, along with any other tasks. Once the tension was put aside I was allocated the role of the PDHPE teacher of Jenny and the facilitator of the meeting.…

    Leadership Case Study: CNO Jones And Theory X

    CNO Jones’ form of management is similar to that of Theory X. Established by McGregor in 1960, theory X is an authoritarian leadership style that focuses on top down management. Kopelman, Prottas, and Davis (2008) note employees under theory X management are considered “lazy, are incapable of self-direction and autonomous work behavior, and have little to offer in terms of organizational problem solving” (p. 255). Prompting managers to micro-manage and make all decisions independently, no matter how it may affect the staff. This same behavior is seen in this case study. Although CNO Jones was fully aware of the hospitals declining financial status she did not take the time to inform her lower level staff.…

    This includes helping leaders decide how much employee participation, from zero to one hundred percent, should be used when making decisions. The diagram shows five different decision-making styles which vary from autocratic decisions (AI or AII) in which leaders make decisions by themselves, to consultative decisions (CI or CII) where decisions are shared, through to group decisions (GII) in which leaders share the problem with subordinates and have the group make the decisions.…

    Self Assessment In The Leadership Grid In Northouse

    Leadership Style Self-Assessment 1 After taking the style questionnaire during while studying the Leadership Grid in Northouse; as expected, I found that my leadership style varies, although of the three theories discussed, more closely relates to team leadership. My assessment found my strengths to be with authority compliance (9,1) and team management (9,9). As suggested by Northouse (2012), “The 9,1 style of leadership places heavy emphasis on task and job requirements, and less emphasis on people, except to the extent that people are tools for getting the job done” (p. 79). The Team Management style is based on tasks and relationships. I consider myself more tasks orientated and analytical, while spending less time with my subordinates’ personal issues.…

    Reflection On Leadership By Keith Grint

    The behavioral/ style approach focuses on specific behaviors of a leader and not their traits. Therefore the behavior of a leader determines their success. The writer uses this approach to show that anyone can become a leader at any given time, provided they learn the most appropriate behavioral response to a particular problem. The contingency theory is another approach. I understand that it emphasizes on both the leader’s personality and the situation in which the leader operates.…
