3.3 Enlightenment of behavioral approach for Peter Ridge’s leadership
Behavioral approach can help to understand which behaviors of leaders are welcomed by employees and which behaviors are the best leadership behaviors. Peter Ridge was based on the behavioral approach to improve his own leadership, which has the following advantages. First, all, he is able to understand what behavior is needed to be improved, for example, his past authoritarian leadership behavior has not been welcomed by the employees, and the autocratic leadership behavior was a little problem in the enterprise when it was not large enough, but as the company develops, his autocratic behavior will meet many problems and it needs to be improved. Second, he can be based on behavioral approach to determine the leadership style of Mhari’s and Susi’s, so as to choose the more suitable talent, Mhari tends to have a more authoritarian leadership style, while Susi’s leadership style is more consultative, Susi prefers to listen to the opinions of the staff’s, judging from this perspective, choosing Susi is more appropriate for the enterprise.
Peter Ridge’s referring to behavioral approach to improve the leadership, which also has the following shortcomings. First of all, the success or failure of leadership depends not only on a leader’s own behavior, but also on some other factors, including task structure, the relationships between the leader and the members, the leader’s authority, the subordinates’ dominant demand, as well as other situational factors. Therefore, the success of the leadership can't just judge from the behavior of the leader. Second, only from the perspective of a leader’s behavior to improve leadership ignores the subjective initiative of employees, without the staff's positive response, just relying on improvement of the leader’s behavior is unable to effectively improve the leadership.
3.4 Enlightenment of situational approach for Peter Ridge’s leadership
Situational approach suggests that leaders' style should be commensurate with the maturity of their subordinates. Peter Ridge found that the employees were not satisfied with his past authoritarian leadership style, then he decided to adopt a more inclusive leadership style, it was a positive performance of improving his leadership. According to situational approach to improve the leadership has the following advantages. First, Tents-r-Us has an increasing scale, its organization structure, enterprise culture and competitive environment may change accordingly, the internal and external environmental changes will result in that the difficulty of its internal management and decision-making will be dramatically increased, the leader must rely on the collective or the power of the team to better cope with the challenge, and Peter Ridge’s authoritarian leadership style in the past obviously can't play the role of employee motivation, and adopting an inclusive leadership style is more suitable for the current environmental changes. Second, with the development of the enterprise, the staff is also becoming more mature, they have more mature skills and experience, and they will demand more participation in the management of the enterprise, if the leader ignores their changes and still takes the autocratic leadership style, it will cause the staff’s dissatisfaction.
Peter Ridge's improvement in leadership based on situational approach has the following disadvantages. First, a leader’s change its way of leadership, which is not just the adjustment of the leader’s individual behavior, but also the adjustment in the decision-making process, organizational structure, corporate culture, organizational communication and many other aspects, whether the leader is able to implement these supporting measures properly is a challenge for the leader's personal ability. Second, the leadership style is adjusted with the maturity of the staff, but the success of the enterprise not only relies on the employee, it also needs to adapt to the external environment, thus the leadership adjustment that the leader makes may not be very authentic.
3.5 Implications of contingency approach for Peter Ridge's leadership
Contingency approach believes that an organization is an open subsystem in a social system, it is affected by the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the best adaptability to the environment according to the situation and role of the organization in the social system to adopt corresponding organizational management measures. Peter Ridge’s past leadership is mainly task focused, with the development and expansion of the enterprise, his past leadership style should be adjusted. According to contingency approach to adjust the leadership style has the following advantages, first of all, contingency approach provides a comprehensive and overall consideration of the impact of the internal environment and the external environment on the enterprise, and based on the results of the analysis to make adjustments on the leadership, such adjustments should be authentic. Second, contingency theory is a dynamic view for the adjustment of the leadership, it helps to help Peter Ridge to make the optimal adjustment of the leadership in the dynamic environment, which is very useful for the enterprises to adapt to the changing internal and external environment.
Weaknesses of Peter Ridge’s emphasis on the contingency approach to adjust his leadership style lie in that, first of all, theoretically, the contingency approach is basically exhaustive for the adjustment and perfection of leadership, but at the level of practical operation, it has a higher demand for leadership, it requires that Peter Ridge should be keen to find meaningful changes in the internal and external environment to make the right leadership adjustment decisions, which is not an easy thing for Peter Ridge. Second, too frequent and large scale leadership adjustment may make employees feel that they do not know what course to take, thus it is very important for the leader to find a balance between leadership adjustment and the stability of the leadership, and it is also not easy.
