Negative leaders act domineering and superior with people. They believe the only way to get things done is through penalties, such loss of jog, days off without pay, reprimand in front of others, etc. They believe their authority is increased by freighting everyone into higher lever of productivity. Also note that a leader is not strictly one or another, but is somewhere on a continuum ranging from extremely positive to extremely negative. Leaders who continuously work out of the negative are bosses while those who primarily work out of the positive are real leaders.
Leaders are concerned about the human needs of their employees.
They build teamwork, help employees with their problems, and provide psychological support. For example, a leader, a leader who becomes more considerate, does not necessarily become less structured. Also, see the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid as it is based on this concept. Return 2 . Organizational Behavior - Human Behavior at Work.
