ANALYSIS
Analysis of the psyche of the old and the younger workers pre and post the recruitment of Sundaram as the CEO. Pre recruitment- Most of the employees had a laid back attitude. Tension bet the workers union and top management. Workers were more concerned with making demands and going on strikes rather than being productive.

Post recruitment- Initially all the employees were very agitated and unhappy with the new changes made. Everyone around were skeptical of the CEOs intentions. Many failed to comply to his newly formed norms and regulations. However, later on they got their concepts cleared and realized the importance of being dedicated and professional.

Started respecting the CEO and worked hard to be more productive.

Analysis of the leadership manner adopted by Mr. Sundaram


He was a very righteous and just kind of leader. Also according to the different situations he beautifully changed the pattern of his leaderships. The styles that he chose shows how rational a leader he was .

Different styles
Bureaucratic leadership: "work by the book", ensuring that their staff follow procedures exactly. This is a very appropriate style for work involving serious safety risks (such as working with machinery, with toxic substances or at heights) or where large sums of money are involved (such as cash-handling).

Democratic Leadership or Participative Leadership


Although a democratic leader will make the final decision, he or she invites other members of the team to contribute to the decision-making process. This not only increases job satisfaction by involving employees or team members in what's going on, but it also helps to develop people's skills. Employees and team members feel in control of their own destiny, and so are motivated to work hard by more than just a financial reward.

People-Oriented Leadership or Relations-Oriented Leadership


This style of leadership is the opposite of task-oriented leadership: the leader is totally focused on organizing, supporting and developing the people in the leader's team. A participative style, it tends to lead to good teamwork and creative collaboration.

Transformational Leadership
A person with this leadership style is a true leader who inspires his or her team with a shared vision of the future. Transformational leaders are highly visible, and spend a lot of time communicating. They don't necessarily lead from the front, as they tend to delegate responsibility amongst their teams. While their enthusiasm is often infectious, they can need to be supported by "detail people".
