Elements of Leadership

Firstly, leadership is aimed at influencing and motivating members towards group goals. Leadership is a behavioural process, so the leaders actions is more important that their status or name. The leader must have good interpersonal skills, such as being able to effectively communicate your message and being able to show empathy and understanding towards others.

Model Elements

Chelladurai's model focuses on 3 states of leader behaviour

Required

(Expectations, limits) Code of conduct and social norms in various contexts form the situational characteristics affecting leadership behaviour. EG. How the conduct of a paid coach is different to a volunteer coach?., how the required behaviour of a coach is different to that of an athletic director?

Preferred

(By the group members) The nature of the group will influence the leader behaviour is specific situations. EG. How do the demands upon the leader differ when coming from a volunteer or a professional or a paid employee?, how does the leader behaviour differ when dealing with youth volunteers or senior volunteers?

Actual

(Adaptive and reactive behaviours) Adaptive being the situation and reactive being the members. These 2 forms of behaviour are a function of the leaders personality and ability. EG. how much guidance does an average person need in comparsion to an athlete?, how does preferred behaviour differ between an individual sport versus a team sport?

Antecedents

The Model states that the leader will be more effective if the teams satisfaction with the leader is high. A team which is not satisfied with its leader will not demonstrate the same level of performance or satisfaction. A leader's behaviour is in by 3 factors (antecedents)

Situational characteristics

The environment in which the leader is performing, including whether the group is large or small, elite or social, individual or team sports, and the games relative importance.

Leader (personal) characteristics

Including past experiences, temperament, personal qualities, skills, expected standards and decision making skills.

Group Member characteristics

The gender, age, skill level, motivation, cultural backgrounds and experience of members of the team that you will be leading.
