A carers role is to make sure that a person has every opportunity to state how they wish their needs to be met.

The purpose of this essay is to identify and explain leadership styles and management theories which are relevant to the social care setting. The interrelationship between theories and leadership styles will also be discussed along with the effects each of the styles can have on the quality of service provided. This will be achieved by looking at the leadership and management style of a manager who runs a 19 bedded EMI residential home in St Asaph. As the manager in questions leadership style is the autocratic style and her management style follows Douglas McGregors X theory these two will be discussed first along with examples of her behaviour which fits into the style and theory. Following this other leadership styles and management theories will be looked and a comparison made towards the deputy manager at the home.
