CHARISMATIC

INNOVATIVE OR
VISIONARY LEADER
• Think outside the box
• Brings new ideas and actions to the organization
• Can sometimes lead to big risk-taking or experimenting,
but creates a space where others’ ideas are respected and
encouraged

growth

was an innovative
leader, and when met
with failure multiple
times, did not give up

AUTHORITATIVE OR
COMMANDING LEADER
• Least effective style of leadership – creates low satisfaction
• High control and top-down behavior
• Effective during crisis
• Low praise, high criticism
• Limits skill development for subordinates
Think of Hocus Pocus’ Winifred
Sanderson when it comes to a
commanding leader – it wasn’t
very effective, was it?

LAISSEZ-FAIRE
LEADERS
• Have high trust in employees to complete tasks
• Not involved in the work directly—oversees the process
• More of a hands-off approach
• Effective when working with highly-trained and motivated
employees
X-Men: First Class’ Sebastian
Shaw let his subordinates do
the work for him and only got
involved when he absolutely
had to

PACESETTING
LEADER
• Set high expectations for work performance
• Constantly seeking to improve the organization through goal setting
• Can cause associates to feel as if they are failing or to experience burnout because of fast pace
• Good to use if the staff is highly motivated
Jack Skellington’s obsession with
making Halloweentown’s Christmas
celebration the best it could be led
to some trouble with his friends.

SERVANT LEADER
• Puts the needs of followers before self
• Communicates frequently and well
• Highly trusting of associates
• Team is involved in the decision-making process
• Gives credit where credit is due
• Great for morale but not good for making decisions quickly
Captain America always puts the
needs of others before himself,
making him an example of a
servant leader.

SITUATIONAL LEADER
• Adapts leadership style depending on the group of
associates
• Useful to help coach or empower newer or inexperienced
employees
• May provide more concrete direction at times
Charles Xavier, better known as
Professor X, adapts his leadership
role depending on the members of
the X-Men he is working with.

TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADER
• Seeks to transform the group, even during moments of discomfort
• Expects teammates to give their best effort
• Becomes a role model for the team
• Useful for encouraging group to try new ideas
• Highly motivational through optimism and high energy
Think Chris Trager from

ME AND MY
SUPERVISOR
ME - SERVANT
• Put the RAs and
coworkers before myself
• RAs have cited good
communication skills
• Decision-making takes a
long time
• Trust staff to get work
done, almost to a fault
HER - SITUATIONAL
• Context is important!
• Small department means
we need to get tasks
accomplished quickly, so
she utilizes a more top-
down approach
• Spends time helping
newer associates grow
• Sometimes has a
concrete plan,
sometimes gives
autonomy
