Laissez Faire Feasibility Study

DEMOCRATIC - a strong group that have self discipline with good communication. The leader will take into consideration the ideas of the team, but will not necessarily agree to. This leader has a lower profile and their authority causes little anger.

LAISSEZ-FAIRE - leader has limited importance to the group; members contribute dynamically in decision making. Conflict between team members is almost stable. It can be effective when a person is skilled and working on a resourceful project.

TRANSACTIONAL – this leadership style is managed by a system of rewards and punishment. They focus on raising the effectiveness of routines and procedures. They are more anxious with following the current rules than with making changes to the business.

TRANSFORMATIONAL

As when going through the induction plan with employees, specific subjects are not negotiable, like polices that are set by TSC or health and safety procedures.

The democratic style would use it in my meetings with the team members. I would ask staff to be involved and give out ideas hence we can come out with a solution or give them a chance to show their abilities.

Laissez-Faire would use it if there is any educational part. It depends on staff’s experience I may ask a skilled staff to carry out a power point presentation about specific course and allow them to share their experience with others.

Having the different styles defined, I classify my management style as “Democratic”; I constantly support the team member to be involved and ask for their inputs and encourage them to contribute in any given activity. I support the brainstorming sessions, set goals with them and try to motivate them. I am confident about what I do as I put all my effort for any given task and work with it optimistically add to this I advice the team member to do the same and try to have positive environment in the workplace.

Theories

Lately theories are likely to consider human organization as a machine. These views appeared in the work of F W Taylor who developed the principle of SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT. He defined it as scientific research, finding evidence to achieve the needed result. Employees were taught with specific instructions and get paid according to their outcomes, believing that the employees were motivated by money. However I don’t agree with this theory as I believe in productivity as a measure and it is definitely not my management style. Scientific management believes that everyone is alike yet it is not necessary that an effective way to work for one is applicable for others. As it does not take into account the fact that employees and management infrequently have the same goals hence Taylor’s methods were often disliked and the result was negative.

Henri Fayol his theory that management get succeed by using the Formal Organization. The most important points of management were defined by Fayol are: planning, organizing, controlling and coordinating. Therefore 3 major points get
