Leadership is "the function of directing or controlling the actions or attitudes of an individual or group with more or less willing acquiescence of the followers".[1]

Selection of leaders

Narcissism may be selected for.[2]

Leadership styles related to worksite climate

Early categorization of leadership styles was by Lewin in 1938 who labeled styles as autocratic, democratic.[3]

The terms transactional and transformation were introduced by Weber in 1947.[4] Weber said the charismatic leader was a transformer and the bureaucratic leader was transactional.

Similar concepts are Theory X and Theory Y management by Douglas McGregor in 1960[5]. Theory X is transactional and Theory Y is transformational.

The concept of transactional versus transformation leadership was using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) first proposed by Bass in 1978.[6]

Measurement of transactional versus transformation leadership using the was first proposed by Bass in 1985.[7]

Bass added the concept of laissez-faire leadership in 1997.[8][9]

Leadership styles may effect employee burnout.[10][11][12]

Laissez-faire

Among physicians, management by passive exception and laissez-faire and may overlap.[13]

Laissez-faire, in health care, is associated with low subordinate job satisfaction and effort.[14]

Transactional

When converting from transactional to empowering leadership, teams may transiently function more slowly.[15]

Management by exception: active

Management by exception: passive

Among physicians, management by passive exception and laissez-faire and may overlap and management by passive exception may be within laissez-faire.[13]

Transformational

This style may be the most effective in healthcare on employee responses and clinical outcomes.[16]

Transformational leadership may increase employee thriving and decrease burnout.[17]

Transformational style may better promote team learning behaviors than a transactional style.[18]

Transformational leadership may build on transactional leadership, "for transformational leadership to be effective,the leader must first build trust and follower responsiveness on the basis of tangible, transactional processes perceived as fair."[14]

Empowering leadership

Defined variably.[19][20]

Compared to transformational leadership, in servant leadership, the leader's focus is on the employees rather than the organization.[21]

Similar concepts are:

  • Servant leadership[22]
  • Gardener leadership[23]

Empowering leadership is variably defined. At a minimum, it means giving employees decision making; however, some definitions include giving employees information to guide their decision making.

The Empowering Leadership Questionnaire (ELQ) has been proposed to measure this style.[24] The ELQ measures either categories:

  1. Coaching
  2. Informing. Examination of the 6 questions in this scale suggest informing here does not fit with information sharing as proposed by complexity science.
  3. Leading By Example
  4. Showing Concern/Interacting with the Team
  5. Participative Decision-Making

Empowering leadership is associated with:

  • Increased employee intrinsic motivation and creativity[25]
  • Increased productivity by implementing Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) as compared to initiating operational improvements[26]
  • Increased knowledge sharing and team efficacy.[27]
  • Increases work engagement via work meaningfulness[28]

Servant or empowering leadership has been proposed for healthcare.[29][30][31]

Leadership tactics related to worksite innovation

Complexity science has been proposed as a framework for health care organization since early this century.[32][33] Anderson and McDaniel proposed in 2000 that key leadership tasks are:

  1. Relationship building
  2. Loose coupling
  3. Complicating
  4. Diversifying
  5. Sense making
  6. Learning
  7. Improvising
  8. Thinking about the future

A model of of learning based on complexity science has been developed.[34]

Complexity Leadership Theory, also called Complex systems leadership theory, was proposed in 2006.[35][36][37] Based on this theory, Hazy has proposed leadership skills similar to Anderson and McDaniel:[38]

  1. Generative
  2. Administrative
  3. Community-building
  4. Information gathering
  5. Information using
