Leadership
structure
This is how leadership structures look like in general.
Leadership structure helps
define the roles and responsibilities of the members of the department, work
group, or organization. The standard hierarchical leadership structure starts
at the top with the chairman and board of directors, who set the goals and
direction for the company or organsation.
Another example of
leadership structure.
This is how
Miller’s leadership structure looks like.
In Miller’s leadership structure, there are the various
committees who report to their appropriate executives as seen on the structure.
Leadership Styles
Psychologist Kurt Lewin developed his framework in the
1930s, and it provided the foundation of many of the approaches that followed
afterwards. He argued that there are three major styles of leadership:
Autocratic leaders - make decisions without
consulting their team members, even if their input would be useful
Democratic leaders- make the final decisions, but
they include team members in the decision-making process
Laissez-faire leader- give their team members a lot
of freedom in how they do their work, and how they set their deadlines.
Miller’s
leadership style.
Basically, Miller uses a democratic approach to leading
their employees. All members focus on their own field within the business where
they are able to discuss problems and solutions, and then report to the board
where a final decision will then be taken by the chief executive.
Role of Leadership
in Innovation Culture
As an approach to organization development, innovation
leadership can support achievement of the mission or the vision of an
organization or group. With new technologies and processes, it is necessary for
organizations to think innovatively to ensure continued success and stay
competitive and to adapt to new changes, “The need for innovation in
organizations has resulted in a new focus on the role of leaders in shaping the
nature and success of creative efforts.” (Quarterly, 2008)
