Dilemma: Hard-to-resolve but important issues in theory and practice. Logical dilemmas arise when formal analysis (including critique) reveals more than one (usually two) possibilities, each of which contradicts a starting contention or proposition. Action dilemmas arise when someone (such as a leader) has identied more than one (most often two) courses of action, none of which is acceptable in practice.
Why leaders all face dilemmas? The essence of a dilemma is that there is no satisfactory choice that suggests itself on the evidence available. This is a position leaders nd themselves in, all too often. Each action seems to carry with it undesired consequences (including the action of doing nothing, and waiting to see what happens). This can be explained by saying that leadership decisions in general and strategic decisions in particular, have to be taken under conditions of uncertainty. There is incomplete information about the consequences of the decisions. Even the sophisticated methods of probability and risk analysis are unable to provide more than indications of what might happen, assuming that there are no unexpected surprises concealed in current uncertainties.
Types of Dilemmas:
It shows that how project leaders deal with the dilemmas of leading projects in practice. Leadership is observable and primarily concerned with what leaders do to ensure team members direct efforts to achieving the goal. The approach works well if the broad project task is unchallenged, and is easily divided into simpler and non-interacting tasks. These conditions apply only for simple projects. However, the principle of interdependence in action of team members is a characteristic of project teams whose work involves uncertainties of resource management (who should do what, when and how). This is where the leader faces the dilemma of coordination. The greater the need for handling unexpected deviations from the project plans, the greater the need for a response to the dilemma
2. Vision statement 3. Next the leader conveys through words or actions 4. Finally they engages in emotion-inducing
Thus there is often a dilemma which states that whether it is really due to the charismatic nature that the people follow the leader.
