This paper compares and contrasts the leadership styles of Lee Iacocca, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the Chrysler Corporation and Steven Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer. It begins with a brief review of three theories of leadership, situational, path-goal and transactional versus transformational and proceeds to describe how they can be related to the two managers. It examines their different personalities and the leadership styles that bought them notoriety.
From the Paper:
"Situational leadership theory suggests that leadership style should be matched to the maturity of subordinates; in other words, to the situation encountered by the leader. Maturity in this situational context is assessed in relation to both psychological maturity and job maturity. Psychological maturity refers to the self-confidence and ability and readiness to accept responsibility of subordinates. Job maturity refers to the relevant skills and technical knowledge possessed by subordinates (Hersey & Blanchard, 1996)."
