Abstract
The participation versus direction debate has been an enduring one in the leadership literature. Contemporary theoretical frameworks are used to analyze an episode from the Indian epic Ramayana to get insights into
this issue. The analysis points out that participation and direction may be effective leader choices rather than styles of effective
leaders as such. Further, it highlights the need to examine the role of psychological ownership and informational justice respectively for the participation and direction choices to be effective.
