1.2 Teaching strategy 
 
HOW EMOTIONAL IMPACT IS BUILT UP: the leader links the people’s wishes to the 
organization’s aims. 
IMPACT ON ORGANIZATION’S CLIMATE: quite positive. 
APPROPRIATE FOR USING: to help an employee improve productivity on account of 
his/her perspective abilities development. 
THE SOURCES OF THE TEACHING STYLE 
Discipleship is an example of emotional intellect skill – the ability to develop other 
people’s aptitudes. This ability enables a leader to act as an advisor who studies the employees’ 
goals and values and assists to broaden the available range of abilities. It goes hand in hand with 
two other skills which, as research shows, is inherent to the best of such leaders – emotional self-
consciousness and empathy. 
Emotional self-consciousness endows a leader with the ability of giving an employee a 
sincere advice really corresponding his/her interests, and not the one that leaves a person with a

feeling that (s) is being manipulated or simply nagged at. In their own turn, leaders capable of 
empathy before responding employees’ actions or commenting someone’s work will listen 
attentively to other people’s comments, thanks to which in an organization there forms the 
atmosphere of complete mutual understanding. In other words, good instructors often ask 
themselves, “whose problem (or goal) does it concern, mine or that of my employees?” 
Instructing leader’s positive emotional impact is a result of his/her responsiveness and the 
ability of establishing contact with employees. A good instructor always believes in human 
abilities and cherishes the hope that all the employees will be able ro realize themselves 100%. 
With all his behavior (s)he as if says to tem: “I believe in you, I invest means in your talent and 
count on exceptional efforts on your part.” At such a treatment people really feel care on the part 
of company management; that is why they try to keep to high production standards and take 
responsibility for the quality of their work. 
Sometimes the teaching style takes on the form of intensive education program. And in 
the companies built “for ever and ever” and prospering for decades, incessant improvement of 
leadership styles not only attests to the strength of the corporate culture, but is also the key to a 
lasting commercial success. During the period when more and more companies experience 
difficulties in trying to keep the most talented and promising employees, organizations which 
provide their employees with the environment favorable for self-perfection, manage to gain high 
loyalty on behalf of their personnel. Briefly speaking, despite the features of the teaching 
strategy don’t seem to offer immediate influencing the profits, nevertheless in some 
incomprehensible, devious way its application leads to high financial results.
