Leadership Style

What is the objective of leadership as it applies to follower motivation?

Motivation represents the forces acting on or within a person that cause the person to behave in

a specific, goal-directed manner (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011).

Goals are future outcomes (results) that individuals and groups desire and strive to achieve

(Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011).

Authentic leaders influence followers attitude and behaviors, which, in turn, positively affects

their self-esteem, stimulates follower identification, creates hope, reflects trust, shows positive

emotions, and raises optimism (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011).

Their Leadership Style is to get the most out of your employees in reference to accomplishing

individual and organizational goals

.

trust, shows positive emotions, and raises optimism

The motto of Google (created by Page and Brin is) dont be evil (Lowe, 2009); this creates hope,

reflects trust, shows positive emotions, and raises optimism

In 2005, former Apple and Microsoft tech guru and celebrity, Kai-Fu Lee, decided to work for Google

because Google gave him a feeling of shock due to the passion for creating a new generation of

technology. (Thompson, 2006); this shows a positive affect on self-esteem and stimulation of follower

identification
