Leadership Style

A leadership style is a leader’s style of providing direction, implementing plans, and motivating people.

There are many different leadership styles that can be exhibited by leaders in the political, business or other fields.

Types of leadership style

• Democratic• Autocratic• Paternalistic• Laissez-faire

Democratic leadership style

Democratic leadership in an organization involves the redistribution of power and authority between employees and managers to provide employee involvement in decision-making.

The Leader includes the employees in the decision making process to determine what to do and how to do.

Autocratic leadership

• Centralizes power and decision-making in himself.• Gives orders, assigns tasks and duties without consulting

the followers.• Takes full authority and assumes full responsibility.Example • The great Hitler• A traffic cop• A teacher

Paternalistic leadership

Paternalistic leadership is a managerial approach that involves a dominant, male father figure who takes complete charge of the employees, his subordinates, in an organization. In return, employees show their trust, loyalty and obedience. This style of leadership is fairly similar to autocratic, with the only difference being the lack of a fatherly leader in the latter style.Example• Religious Leaders• One famous paternalistic leader was Henry Ford, an

American industrialist who founded Ford Motor Co.

LAISSEZ – FAIRE OR FREE RAIN STYLE

Laissez-faire leadership, also known as delegative leadership, is a type of leadership style in which leaders are hands-off and allow group members to make the decisions.Leader helps only when asked by employeesExample:-• Experienced work force • Highly skilled work force
