1) Scientific Leadership
Standard methods for doing a job – the worker is not required to
think, only the leader
Bureaucratic organizations the result: carefully designed hierarchy
of authority, with clearly defined responsibilities
Functions specialized, information and control centralized
Uniform application of standard rules and procedures

Bass and Avolio (2002) maintain that business needs both types of
leadership: the most effective leaders combine the two styles
More inclusive models of leadership have come to the fore, influenced
by leadership in Eastern cultures
E.g. Minzberg’s ‘Quiet Management’ (quieter, less dramatic leadership at all
levels). This reflects ideas of Lao Tzu, 6th century Chinese philosopher (‘A leader
is best when people barely know he exists’).

Slide 8.34
Are some universal attributes of leadership more prevalent among male or female leaders?
Gender stereotypes may hamper developing an appropriate effective style of
leadership.
Overcoming these stereotypes, while focusing on the characteristics appropriate to
the position, is the key task of any candidate for leadership, whether male or female.
Male and female leaders, it appears, display differing behavioural tendencies whatever
their country of origin.
Although leadership style may be based on gender, differences in the leadership style
employed are based more on culture than on gender.
