Leadership style is the manner and approach of providing direction, implementing plans, and motivating people.

Leaders vary their styles. A leader is not strictly one or another style. Most leaders use all three styles; one style, however, becomes the dominate one.

Positive Leaders use rewards (independence, education) to motivate employees.

Negative Leaders use penalties with employees. These leaders act domineering and superior w/people. Negative penalties include: days off without pay, reprimanding in front of others, assigning unpleasant job tasks.

Leader’s goals are to motivate others to accomplish work/class tasks and to feel that they are contributing to their own professionalism.

Leadership styles

• Leadership is situational, it depends largely on the demands of the task.

• Leadership styles change from group and situation to situation.

• Exercising strong directive power provides effective leadership when the groups lack a sense of direction or purpose.

employees/students in the decision making process (to determine what to do and how to do it).
