The Full Range Leadership Model in Action: A Case Study of the German Aircraft Producing Company H3 GROB Aircraft SE

Abstract

Leadership is a fundamental part of a company’s day-to-day operations and a critical factor in its success. This case study aims to demonstrate that a single manager can lead by actually using the full range of the Full Range Leadership Model (FRLM). It also aims to provide an
approach to the fact that the leadership style in turn influences the led manager’s leadership style. To this end, a qualitative study was conducted using three in-depth interviews and several observations. The results indicate that a manager can implement all leadership styles of the Full Range Leadership Model in practice. It could also be observed that the leadership style of the manager
led by the CEO is influenced by the CEO’s own leadership style.
