Contingency, System Theory, Complexity, Chaos Theory And Leadership Style

The purpose of this paper is to write about management theories which are contingency, system, complexity and chaos theory and leadership theories and what they are be trait, attitudinal and situational. I also describe my leadership style which is democratic and what leadership and management theories go along with my style. I also talk about the kind of work environment that would work best for my leadership style and the three keys to be a successful leader.

There are four management theories' there is contingency theory, system theory, complexity theory and chaos theory. Contingency theory is when managers need to consider the whole problem and all the components before making a decision. System theory is a person trying to change

I think that when I get more experience and confidence I would move more to autocratic type of leader ship. Fischer said studies have suggested that leaders are not born but can develop key competencies through training education and professional development to be a good leader (Fischer,2016) this is somewhat true. I believe that there are some skills that people need to have to help them grown in to great leader while some skills can be learned. Right now, my democratic is really working. I have no problem delegating tasks to others as long as I know as they can perform it right. I don't think that a person should have to take on all the tasks because they will get burned out. I think that I am strong in trait theories that people can rely on me if they need true help and don't ask for help just because they don't want to do any work. I think that system theory's is half and half I do try and plan to think about all the options when I try and change things but sometimes things don't work out and I did not plan for. For example, I am bad at chaos theory. I like when things go to plan and try and plan far out in advance with many different options but when things don't go as planned I get frustrated. Three keys behaviors that a leader must have to be a successful leader would be would be social awareness, relationship management and self-awareness (Fisher,2006). Managers need to be able to work with others and can have empathy when others are struggle and be able to help them out. Being social aware of situations and being there to motivate people when they are down. Employees do better when the manager is positive in a stressful event. They can work towards a goal and encourage others when need be (Wegge, Shemla, & Haslam, 2014). The final key behavior would be self-awareness.
