Task-oriented leadership
a leadership style focused primarily on achieving the goals of the organization, fulfilling tasks and adhering to formal plans and procedures. Such leaders place great emphasis on organizing work, assigning responsibilities, monitoring performance, and ensuring that tasks are completed efficiently and accurately. They consider the achievement of goals to be the main criterion for evaluating the leadership and success of the team. From a psychological point of view, this style is based on clarifying expectations, establishing clear plans and guidelines, and monitoring progress, which reduces uncertainty and increases discipline among group members. Duty-oriented leaders motivate team members to focus on productivity, meeting deadlines, and achieving measurable results, which increases productivity and reduces distraction or deviation from assigned tasks. Socially, this leadership style creates a clear structure and a defined chain of responsibilities within the group, promoting teamwork coordination and ensuring everyone’s commitment to assigned roles. It also helps to solve practical problems effectively, manage time and resources effectively, and achieve agreed group goals. Excessive concentration on responsibilities may satisfy the emotional and social needs of group members to a lesser extent than a relationship-oriented leader.
