Question

Which leadership approach suggests that leadership behaviors vary along a continuum of leadership styles, from passive through transactional to transformational?

Answer 1

Answer: Full range leadership

Explanation:

The full range leadership model, or FRLM for short, is a theory that suggests that general leadership focuses on leaders' behaviour towards certain work situations. This model focuses on three types of styles in particular. And these are explained below.

Transformational leadership: These leaders develop and motivate their followers to achieve various success levels. This is a more long term approach. This can usually improve employee self confidence, satisfaction and increase employee commitment.

Transactional leadership: These leaders use social exchanges to lead. This refers more to transactions between leaders and followers. This style of leadership uses rewards and punishments to motivate employees to achieve their tasks successfully.

Laissez - Faire: This type of leadership translates to "let them do (what they want)", and is also known as hands - off leadership. This style is basically the absence of leadership. Employees are left to make decisions on their own and there are no fixed rules.
