Layla is the branch manager of one of the banks in Bahrain. She has been with the bank for over 8 years. Layla worked as a teller when she first joined the bank back in 2011. She is currently working towards her master degree in business administration (MBA). Layla directly manages a team of 10 branch employees and 2 supervisors. Layla’s leadership style is usually to empower her staff by allowing her team members to make most operational decisions on their own. In addition, she discusses main issues with her staff and encourages her team to put forward ideas and develop plans independently. This leadership approach is known to increase team motivation which in turn encourages creativity. At her staff meetings, Layla always states that: "You may make mistakes, these mistakes can be used as a learning experience".
However, if for example, a major bank account issue arises, Layla usually takes control to ensure a prompt and coordinated process. She believes that such business critical situations should be handled by experienced and confident professionals. Layla currently does not have such professionals among her team members. Although her staff have gained some confidence through empowerment, they still need to enhance their advanced managerial skills. Therefore, during such cases, in addition to being supportive, Layla adapts her leadership approach by adding a directive style.

12. Cindy Szadokierski’s “interactive leadership” style has worked at United. A.. Describe her leadership style in a few words. b. Would this style work lead you and your peers in your current job? c. Why?

Cindy Szadokierski, United Airlines
Twenty-five years ago, Cindy Szadokierski quit her job teaching high school French and went to work as a reservations agent for United Airlines. Today, she is vice president in charge of operations for United’s largest hub at O’Hare International Airport.After joining the company, Szadokierski served in positions of increasing responsibility, including being general manager of United’s hub at Washington’s Dulles International Airport. From the beginning of her career with United, Szadokierski wanted to be in operations because she liked the idea of bridging the gap between what goes on in the field and what happens at headquarters. At O’Hare, where she oversees 4,000 employees and 600 flights a day, her favorite times are the weekly afternoon walkabouts on the O’Hare ramp and the weekly morning strolls through the terminal. Why? Because they give her a chance to connect with employees and customers. Pete McDonald, chief operating officer of United’s parent, UAL Corporation, says there were serious operations problems at O’Hare, so they put ‘‘the most communicative person’’ in the job. ‘‘She’s everywhere. She talks to everybody,’’ said Don Wolfel, president of United’s mechanics union at O’Hare.Szadokierski’s approach to leadership is more collaborative than command-and-control. In addition to learning from employees and customers, Szadokierski emphasizes regular meetings with her leadership team to talk about what’s going right, what’s going wrong, and how to collaboratively fix any problem
