Question B2 Leadership in organization is a very important
trend as the leader has a large amount of responsibility to lead
the direction and build a good organizational culture that
expresses the behaviors, rules and values critical to the
attainment of an organization's mission and strategies. Leaders
who carry good leadership characteristics will benefit the
organization and become an icon within the team. Tony
Fernandes is a CEO of AirAsia. His leadership style can be
varied depending on the situation. Sometimes he used an
autocratic leadership style. For example, he wanted to install the
mechanism for the handicap people at zero cost. He did not
make any discussion with anyone. Thus, he adopts a 'walk
around' management style. At the same time, Fernandes believes
that employees come first before his customers. He also says
that "employees come number one, customers come number
two'. He thinks if you have a happy workforce they'll look after
your customers anyway. Based on this, he also used a
democratic style. Tony also is a situational leader. He makes
decision based on the urgent state of that current moment. It may
not be something which he likes but he makes the decision
because the situation forces him to train his leadership behavior.
He also works as a charismatic CEO. His favorite phrase is
'better value'. If Tony becomes able to own the concept outright
then he wants it. The above situations suggest that being a
leader, you should be very creative leader. Choose ONE (1)
leadership style of your preference, explain it. Then discuss
TWO (2) advantages and, TWO (2) limitations for any of the
leadership style from the above short stories.
