A leader's efficacy (how well they do their job) can be precisely defined by the Big Five' traits from psychology. False FalseNo current theories of leadership still utilize the Behavioral Approach. Charismatic Leadership is essentially the same as Transformative Leadership Companies that use only Transformative Leadership will always perform better than those who use both Transforming and Transactional Leadership.

Explanation / Answer

8.

a. False

Charismatic and transformative leaderships have many similarities, but the focus in charismatic leadership is to make the status quo better through the leader’s charm which creates devotion amongst his/her followers. The focus in transformational leadership is to bring in change or transformation in the individuals and/or social systems through a collective vision.

b. False

The choice of leadership style depends on many factors like the team’s characteristics, workplace requirements, situation, etc. transformational leadership has always been proven to work better when considering performance improvement within an organization, but reliance only on transformational leadership cannot help company’s performance, when some situations and teams call for transactional leadership needs. Hence, a balance between both the styles needs to be maintained.

c. False

The choice of leadership style depends upon the leader’s skills and goals, groups’ maturity, the time available for decision making, the power the leader enjoys, and the concern he/she has for member satisfaction.

d. True

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) projects require a lot of self-motivated participation by the employees to achieve desired success. Shared value, co-leadership, participatory and distributed leaderships all motivate this kind of involvement that the project might require.

e. False

Leaders do not necessarily are the action takers, in many situation leaders help their followers (subordinates) as facilitators to enable them to lead projects and carryout actions desired within the project.

f. True

Proactive followers support their leaders by questioning and challenging their assumptions and offer competing views on how to overcome crucial challenges faced by the team/company. Proactive followers offers new line of thought on the existing processes, and issues which catalyses and facilitates new projects and initiatives in the organization.
