hey, I was wondering if informal leadership is to be studied for As level business studies, since its not mentioned anywhere in the syllabus.

Pedagogically you must be referring to "laissez faire style leadership" yep you have to study that at AS level

No, not that, theres another section on this, its called informal leadership

informal leadership: a personal who has no formal authority but has the respect of colleagues and some power over them

As far as I remember there were 3 major styles: Autocratic (sarial), laissez-faire(informal and friendly), democratic (zardari? yea right)

so informal would be similar to laissez-faire and all those leaderships styles are in AS (I also double checked the syllabus for you)

 

[zainabkhann]

Isn't there paternalistic in this aswell? Cuz I made notes on that. Should I study that? And what about emotional intelligence do I ned to know that for the exams?

Should i make notes on paternalistic and should i study emotional intelligence? please let me know

 

[AlphaCentauri]

There are as many leadership styles as there are managers.

 

[zainabkhann]

Will i be able to get 3 marks for this question:

Explain the autocratic style of management?
Autocratic is when the leader decides to make all the decisions in the business and does not allow any sort of participation from its workforce in the decision making process. They set business objectives themselves, issue instructions to the workforce and check to ensure that the task given is being carried out in a systematic order. This style of management is usually found in armed forces or police force, where only immediate implementation is required.

I think i need to explain more, but if u were to write this, how would you?

2 marks

1 mark for knowing the concept, second mark for applying to by giving the example of armed forces

you can gain the third mark by using technical terms to make your answer look more educated than general

that one word here would have been authoritarian

"Autocratic is an authoritarian style of leadership in the business and restricts participation from its workforce in the decision making process. The leader sets business objectives, issue instructions to the workforce and ensures implementation. An example are armed forces or police force, where a hierarchical structure of organization exists."

So you see essentially keeping the idea of your answer same and just by modifying some words I made it a line shorter which would save time and by using business management jargon (terminology) I made it look more educated. So, that's 3 mark for certain.
