A person who manages or governs other people, especially because of his or her talent or position, is a l eader , according to Cambridge dictionary.

What   makes  Coco  Chanel   a   leader ?

In a culture that lived on limiting and constricting women, Chanel pioneered the concept of the more emancipated lady through her designs and fashion brand — and she succeeded  ( Beccia , 2016 ).  As a result of her newfound beliefs, she rose to the position of  leader.  Her myth was sold by her unwavering commitment to  putting her vision into action , a vision that ingeniously tapped into the hidden longing of women in her culture to be freer and more independent.

Chanel became a  symbol of class, comfort, and luxury ,  Chanel's new image of fashion and femininity had a  far-reaching impact ,  changing people's minds  about women's roles in society and  providing grist  for the nascent feminist movement   (Latham, 2000). Chanel's capacity  to persuade  the collective ideas of a group of people towards a common goal is what makes her a formidable and ageless leader.

leadership   approach   ( models   and   theories )

Leadership theories attempt to explain how and why certain people rise to positions of power. Some of these ideas aim to discover the behaviors that people may adopt to better their own leadership qualities in various settings, while others focus on the traits of leaders ( Northouse, 2019).

Chanel possessed exceptional leadership abilities to achieve such great heights in the fashion industry.  She exemplified  transformational leadership,  which is a rigorous yet effective style of management. Transformational Leaders use their people's ability to realize their goals and bring about revolutionary change in society  (Gregory Stone, Russell and Patterson, 2004) .

Chanel demonstrated transformational leadership by including her employees and other designers in a transformational process that resulted in long-term changes in women's fashion. She, also used  charismatic leadership theory  to bring about enormous change in the fashion business, giving her social networks and followers a charismatic effect ( House and University Of Toronto. Faculty Of Management Studies, 1977) . Her charm was evident in her  skills ,  well-defined goals ,  self-assurance , and  motivation . Chanel gained devotees'  trust,   confidence , and indisputable  acceptance  of her style as a result of her charisma (Hayes, 2013, p.120).

She made important and constructive contributions to the fashion business, enhancing  team development ,  group decision-making , and  quality initiatives .

Scene 5

Chanel  had  the   leadership   style   of   an   authoritative   leader  -  this   leadership   style   is   characterised   by   self-assured   leaders   who   chart   a   direction   and  set  goals   while   engaging   and   energising   followers   along   the   way  (Murphy, 2019).  Chanel’s   style  had  a   strong   focus   on   organisational   goals ,  also   she   paid   great   attention   to   passion   while   juggling   the   demands   of   the   organisation . Coco  was   an   effective   team   player   and   good   decision   maker   as  a   business   leader ,  according   to  Taylor  and   Jacob (2017, p.170).  She   was   able   to   create   followers   and   generate   good   leadership  in  the   company .  Chanel   promoted   practical   communication   skills   and   so   improved   public   speaking ,  making  her   an   eloquent   and   confident   woman . ( Hayes , 2013, p.123).  Her   leadership   style   was   that   of   a   supporting   leader   who   is    also   nice   and   approachable . Chanel   developed   a   nice   work   environment  in  her   fashion   firm ,  according   to   Hayes  (2013, p.124),  and   treated   her   followers   and   workers  as  equals   and   with   respect .

Her   leadership   style   and   behaviours   also   reflect   the   use   of   the   path-goal   theory   ( House, 1996)   as  she   assisted   her   employees  in  achieving   company   goals   by   monitoring ,   guiding ,  directing ,   and   coaching   them   along   their   job   lines . As  a   result ,  she   observed   worker   performance   and   addressed   any   errors  as  soon  as  possible ,  advising   workers   on   how   to   avoid  making  mistakes .

The area  of   leadership   best   demostrated   by   Chanel

Female leadership Her  inherently rebellious , slightly  surprising , and  highly individualistic attitude  mirrored a new trend among women:  defying cultural expectations that they stay strictly and universally feminine, fulfilling a masculine post-war fantasy. Chanel wished for women to be free of not just physical but also mental corsets.  This displays not just her great  inventiveness  as an artist, but also her keen  sense of vision  and  smart intellect  in effectively building her business according to the social climate and then using that power to improve that climate.

Media exposure helped to popularize Chanel’s image and vision.. 

Scene 7

Media exposure helped to popularize Chanel’s image and vision.

As early as 1915, Harper's Bazaar, a famous fashion magazine, published an article titled  "This season, the name Chanel is on the lips of every shopper."   (Picardie, 2011)

Vogue magazine in America released an illustration of a Chanel little black dress with long sleeves in 1926 (see the attached photo), predicting that such a plain yet chic style would become a genuine uniform for women of taste, famously contrasting its basic lines to the popular and no less widely accessible Ford motor (Borrelli-Persson).

How   was   she   portrayed  in  the  media?
