INFLUENTIAL LEADERSHIP OUTLINE

A. Introduction

In this part of the study, we try to discuss influential leadership in the current leadership generation. The intention of this part is to make sure that the readers are aware of what the discussion is all about (Postero, 2016). Further, we try to disseminate the different kinds of leadership which are used by the influential leaders and also the impact they have on different company success. It covers some surveys which have been done on the different roles leaders have when it comes to influence. It also focuses on the impact of changes in management paradigms and how that has some impact on leadership (Bae et al., 2013).

B. Meaning of terms

Identifies the meaning of influence and how one can be influential (Hilley, 2012).The paper will study an extensive study of how leaders can use their leadership styles to influence performance in organizations (Murray et al., 2011).

C. Theory

This is a study of the relationship that the leaders and the followers. The intention of this part is to give a detailed study of the relationship between the followers and how to create a shared purpose among the two (Crozier & Priestley, 2011)

. The theory meant to show how the leaders can use their abilities to create followers in the different field they are acting on (Malek et al., 2015).

D. Factors that determine influential leadership

i. Organizational factors

These are factors which are within the organization which are very pertinent and makes a leader influential (You, 2014). This part of the leadership influence is abused in the fact that a problem will come up, and the leader will find a way through which they can manage to influence he workers capitalizing on the solution to the problems (Cote et al., 2015).

ii. Group factors

These are the factors that group members of an organization do to see that the workers have a following for a leader. This factor makes a leader one who focusses on the personal traits of every member of an organization (Zhang & Chua, 2011).

iii. Individual factors

This is a study of how a leader behaves and how that influences results and how one acts about that. A leader can have a following when he or she can use the personal traits that will have the rest of members of the organization following (Eichmann, 2001).

iv. Relations with coworkers

This studies how a leader can use the influence he or she has to make sure that they command a following out of this. Any leader who does not have a good rapport with the rest of the members can never command a following in the organization (Eichmann, 2001).

E. Methodology

This is a study of the mythology which is being used to identify some of the traits that are needed to see to that a leader is influential (Chin & Roger, 2015).This entails different research studies done to speculate what leaders can do to make sure that they remain influential in their areas of expertise ( Song & Seamon,2014). How can leaders use their pragmatic abilities to take charge of the activities which are being done by people?

The other field which requires a following is the field of business where leaders have to be able to be very influential so that they can be able to get a command in their following (Price, 2013).

G. Leadership styles used

i. Laissez-faire

This is a type of leadership that receives a negative following. In this kind of leadership, it is a type of leadership where a leader avoids responsibility and ignorant. This leader influences the lazy type of workers in the organization (Itzhaky & York, 2013)

ii. Pragmatic leadership

Studies a leadership style which a leader and the follower will always command a transactional process that exists between a leader and the follower. There is a complete exchange in the process which ensures that there is understanding (Hakala & David, 2010).

With cognitive abilities, the leaders can easily influence since they understand the problem the workers have.
