Leadership Styles and Their Results

Introduction

Within the discussion, we are asked to review the two leaders and their leadership styles. Then identify which leadership style was used in both scenarios briefing to their officers, and compare and contrast those styles. Then explain if one style was better than the other for the scenario presented. We will also have to explain which leaders’ communication style was more motivating to their officers, and the leadership style that could result in the best officer outcome to the new program and why? Then explain what could be the inadvertent consequence of the less desirable approach?

Vito, Higgins, & Denney, (2014) also agree that transformational leaders also makes provisions for influence and power in the leadership process, but to make sure the power and influence remain within this theory, we must also incorporate four physiognomies: inspiration, intellectual stimulation, magnetism, and individual consideration.

    Also, both styles expressed what is necessary for police improvement. Furthermore, although, the effect on external relations is harder to predict in top cop, both styles will experience a certain degree of backlash if they exclude the external sources and interfere with the relationships of the officers and the community. The two styles differ for the reasons the administrator emphasizes the managing aspect s and manifestations of that role; but, top cop focuses more on leading than on managing. The administrator concentrates on the police organization (planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling), while the top cop is heavily involved in police operation (giving out orders and being in the spotlight on the more high profile investigations). Top cops are more likely than administrators to be liked and respected by police employees, depending heavily on their operational abilities, however in the case of Chief Davis and Chief Fortier it was the opposite.

    At the top of the organizational chart, we have the Chief of Police and under him, the assistant Chief of Police; at which point, the chart further divides into other areas with lesser ranked individuals in charge of each of them. This provides a clear example of how “authority flows downward in the organization”. (Swanson, Territo & Taylor, 2012, p. 221).
