Question

When a work situation factor prevents a leader from displaying a task-oriented or people-oriented behavior, or both, that factor is a leadership neutralizer ?

Answer 1

As i have been in management, and other leadership roles in the past, I think that a task-oriented behavior and people oriented behavior are key factore. if a person in a leadership roll can not be complete taks in a timely manner, how is it they would expect the same from others. the respect of a leadership roll is earned through these actions. as a leader, you will have to deal with many people on daily basis. in our culture today, people have very diverse beliefs, and convictions, the abscence of people skills, would make in nearly impossicble to lead effectively. In conclusion yes, the absence of these two behaviors would nuetralize a person in a leadership roll.
