Effective Leadership in NGO’s is required to carry out its activities in the communities in which it operates. There are some excellent researches on NGO’s working in India but, empirical data and studies on leadership practices adopted by the NGO’s are limited. Most of what has been written has come from consulting firms and those practicing in the field of management (Saks,2006).

    To begin with, the economic model has a management style that mirrors that of market-driven businesses, aligning goals and objectives with business principles such as supply and demand (Brainard & Siplon, 2004). On the other hand, the voluntary spirit model relies on a management style that is intentionally different from product and services businesses (2004). In other words, the voluntary spirit model insists that nonprofit missions are not business-like, but instead, are centered on solving problems and nurturing relationships (2004). Next, the organizational structure for the economic model has a relatively strict hierarchy where decisions are driven from the leadership, but the voluntary spirit model’s structure relies on collaboration among members to collectively determine goals and objectives (2004). Lastly, since the economic model is business-like, the incentives for staff appeal to self-serving needs, which means the incentives are often materialistic or monetary (2004).

    Upon completing the psychology quiz on About.com, it was determined by my answers to the proposed questions that I fall into the Participative Leadership group. This type of leadership group is considered the “most effective leadership style” though it is important to note that truly effective leadership styles incorporate all three forms of leadership: authoritarian, participative and delegative (Cherry). Although this was the group my test responses dictated, after reading through each of the definitions for the other two groups, I felt that I could fit into any of the three leadership styles. Depending on the situation and the group I was leading, that situation would help me to determine which style of leadership I would need to use to be most effective.
