Group Leaders were first described by Burns (1978) as one of his five types of transactional leaders. The other four leadership styles include opinion leaders, party leaders, legislative leaders and executive leaders.
Group Leaders are sometimes referred to as bureaucrats and are also considered bargainers. The types of transactions that the group leader might be involved with include mutual support and the setting of expectations and rewards. So the group leader would bargain with the follower using this type of implied transaction - You give me good results and I will give you more money.
The group leader, like the bureaucrat can sometimes be granted leadership status by the position they hold in an organization - for example a group manager or group supervisor.
Other forms of this term include - group leader, group leadership |
