Answer the question in paragraph form.
What leadership behaviors do you see in the team’s leader? (Behavioral theories of leadership). Provide specific examples.
Team’s leaders here refer to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google company. What are Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s leadership behaviors in leading the company to develop like today.

Some concept information:
“Behavioral theory suggests that leadership requires a strong personality with a well-developed positive ego; self-confidence is essential.
In response to the early criticisms of the trait approach, theorists began to research leadership as a set of behaviors. They evaluated what successful leaders did, developed taxonomy of actions, and identified broad patterns that indicated different leadership styles. Behavioral theory also incorporates B.F. Skinner’s theory of behavior modification, which takes into account the effect of reward and punishment on changing behavior. An example of this theory in action is a manager or leader who motivates desired behavior by scolding employees who arrive late to meetings and showing appreciation when they are early or on time.”

Behavioral Theories
– Assumptions
o Leaders can be made, rather than are born
o Successful leadership is based in definable, learnable behavior
– Description
o Behavioral theories do not seek inborn traits – they look at what leaders actually do
o Success can be defined in terms of describable actions
– Implication:
o Leadership capability can be learned
– Two general types of behavior exhibited by leaders:
o Concern for people
o Concern for production
– Early research on leader’s behavior
o While a leader can exhibit both types of behavior, early research on the two dimensions indicate that generally:
• As a leader’s consideration increased, employee turnover and absenteeism declined
• As a leader’s task orientation increased, employee performance rose
– The managerial Grid
High Country Club Management Team Management
Concern for People Medium Middle of the road management
Low Impoverished management Authority-compliance
Low Medium High
Concern for Production (Task)

– McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y (1960)
o Theory X leaders assume:
• Employees inherently dislike work and, whenever possible, will attempt to avoid it
• Because employees dislike work, they must be coerced, controlled, or threatened with punishment to achieve desired goals.
• Employees will shirk responsibilities and seek formal direction whenever possible.
• Most workers place security above all other factors associated with work and will display little ambition.
o Theory Y leaders assume:
• Employees can view work as being as natural as rest or play
• Men and women will exercise self-direction and self-control if they are committed to the objectives
• The average person can learn to accept, even seek, responsibility
• The ability the make good decisions is widely dispersed throughout the population and is not necessarily the sole province of managers

Make sure you understand the concept and apply it into your answer. Your answer should relate to the team leader of your chosen company since the beginning of semester.
In this case, your team choose Google Company, so your leaders are Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
