It is to identify the effects of coercive and pacesetting leadership style to the staff. What are the usual response from the staff, are they motivated? or refused to act as directed? If so, what are the impact to the business. Will the sales be better or worst? What will be the impact to the organization as a whole? More turnover or….????
Coercive leadership style has a negative effect because it is based on the concept "Do this, do that", and that is de-motivating for the workforce. It is useful when the company needs a complete turnaround or when employees are under-effective and it is your last resort.
Pace-setting leadership style is only effective when employees are well trained, have a lot of skills, and experience on the job. This style has a negative effect when the pace is too fast and the objectives set by the leader are too difficult, or impossible, to achieve.
The six main leadership styles are: Coercive, Authoritative, Affiliative, Democratic, Pacesetting and Coaching. It is necessary to be flexible enough to know which to choose according to the situation and to establish objectives that are specific, measured, attainable, and time-oriented.
