Leadership Style at KBR

Leadership is characterized by numerous and sometimes contrary ways. We use the following notions, because (a) it expresses the power in periods of life, which, for functional managers do, and (b) he reconciles the dispute between the normative and situational power scheme on the assumption that the two were excited bivouac significant, but only a few, aspects of leadership. In short, this mid-range idea of power covers five essential dimensions of body:

We did not attempt to integrate the transformational (charismatic) or the devil that idea in the mid-range scheme. As a result, the focus is on transactional power (but not at a very micro level), which in relation to the charismatic power (Sawyer, 2000 85-110).
