Лидеры, направляющие работу организации, являются хорошими управляющими. Они определяют направление, обеспечивают подчиненным поддержку и уверенность в своих силах, что необходимо для выполнения задач, поставленных перед ними.
Лидеры, трансформирующие организацию, изменяют отношения между подчиненными и организацией. Они стремятся поднять уровень сознательности сотрудников и заставить их смотреть дальше своих собственных интересов.
Если направляющие лидеры воспитывают старательность у своих подчиненных, то трансформирующие – преданность.
Многие исследователи пытались определить личностные характеристики, присущие лидеру. В этот список были включены такие черты как умственные способности, личные достижения, ответственность, активность, социально-экономический статус.
Некоторые исследователи подчеркивают ситуативный характер лидерства и выделяют следующие параметры: а) статус (насколько руководитель может заставить подчиненных выполнять его требования); б) отношения между руководителем и подчиненным (принятие лидера и преданность ему подчиненных); в) структура задачи (насколько хорошо объяснена задача); г) способность определить наиболее насущные потребности членов организации на данный момент.
