What is new leadership?
As opposed to the traditional leadership theory, which advocates one person in the sole position of authority through whom all decisions are made without any input from the employees, new leadership theory is a concept focused on the employees and subordinates having more influence in the decision-making processes of a company. The two primary representatives of the new leadership model are the transformational and charismatic leadership styles. The transformational leadership style encourages interactions between a manager and subordinates who are invited to suggest changes that could help improve the processes within the organization. Charismatic leadership centers around managers who have the charisma, persuasiveness, and an exuberant attitude through which they can influence others behaviors. The charismatic leadership method advocates the leader influencing the employees through enthusiasm and a positive atmosphere instead of using their position of power.
