Instrumental Leadership
Captions available
The idea
Instrumental leadership is oriented to the task, organizing work, setting goals, and keeping a group moving toward completion.
In practice
The member who assigns the sections and holds everyone to the deadline is leading instrumentally.
Where people slip
Task focus can advance the goal while quietly damaging the group's cohesion and morale.
