MR. RUBEN S. LEYBA
INTRODUCTION-Leadership Behavior
• The leader sets example. Whether in
the Army or in civilian life, the other
people in the organization take their
cue from the leader-not from the
leader says, but what the leader does.
- Colin Powell
Leadership Behavior
NORMAN SCHWARTZKOPF,
U.S. ARMY
Introduction
• Differentiating between effective and ineffective
leaders requires looking at their behaviors and results.
• Leadership behavior can be observed and measured.
• Personality traits, values, and intelligence cannot be
directly observed, but they may contribute to effective
leadership behaviors.
• Two other factors that influence leadership behavior are
the followers and the situation.
• Follower and situational factors can help determine whether a
particular leadership behavior is “bad” or “good.”

McClelland’s achievement motivation theory
7-40
McClelland’s four needs
He suggests that everyone has a combination of these needs but that one tends to
dominate.
• The Achievement motive (n-Ach)
People with a high achievement need like to be successful and have positive feedback.
• The Power motive (n-Pow)
People with a high power need like to be in charge of people and/or organisations.
• The Affiliate motive (n-Affil)
People with a high affiliation need prefer to work with other people in teams and groups.
• The Avoidance motive (n-Avoid)
People with a high avoidance need will avoid situations which may provoke negative
emotions in them.

Open Climate
7-53
Why Open the Communication Channels?
An open climate is essential for cascading vision, and cascading is essential because:
Natural Law 1: You Get What You talk about
– A vision must have ample ‘air time’ in an organization. A vision must be shared and practiced by
leaders at every opportunity.
Natural Law 2: The Climate of an Organization is a
Reflection of the Leader
– A leader who doesn’t embody the vision and values doesn’t have an organization that does.
Natural Law 3: You Can’t Walk Faster Than One Step at a
Time
– A vision is neither understood nor accepted overnight. Communicating must be built into continuous,
daily interaction so that over time followers will internalize it.
