    Home Depot Case - Leadership

    Donovan's description of the behavior of leaders is not very accurate.

However, I think some of the traits that he mentions are not good descriptions of a leader, including delivering results, acting strategically, driving excellence, and excelling in customer service. I think these traits are more ideal for a manager to possess. Home Depot

    Functional Leadership

    Though functional leadership processes have received frequent dis¬cussion in team dynamics, little is known about the processes associated with leadership. There are two reasons for this; first, conceptually distinct processes associated with exchange, functional behavior, influence, and person perception have been used synonymously in defining leadership. This carelessness has made the term leadership indistinctive and has obscured the need to differentiate among such pro¬cesses. Second, adequate process-oriented measures of leadership have not been developed. Though
