Explain managerial leadership.

Managerial Leadership: Effective managing needs leadership.

This is seldom possible to segregate the behavioural functions of manager-ship and leadership. This is because; every act of affect on a matter of organizational relevance is in several degrees an act of leadership.

A manager organizes controls and directs various activities of the enterprise directed towards exact ends. A leader, conversely, inspires confidence and trust in his subordinates, finds maximum cooperation from them and guides their activities into organized effort.

Particularly, managerial leadership is behaviour which elicits voluntary follower behaviour beyond that related with required performance on a job. Leadership is "the influential increment above and over mechanical compliance with the routine directives of the organization".

A manager's leadership behaviour is what makes the dissimilarity between ineffective and effective organizations. Managerial leadership includes the skills of a manager and the qualities of a leader.

The perception of managerial leadership is significant because the term itself suggests the requirement of bringing together the managerial and leadership roles for the more effective task performance, organizational effectiveness and human satisfaction.  

The managerial leader, then, is usually evaluated on both formal task accomplishment and informal basis of group and personal goal accomplishment.
