Know your Leadership Styles

Leadership styles can be defined as how a person plays the role of a leader. If we discuss in detail then we need to interpret his behavior with his team mates, his attitude towards work and peer communications.

There are three kinds of leadership styles, they are:

1.    Authoritarian (Autocratic) Style: The term authoritarian defines itself. It is sort of “I want you to do this or that,” approach. In this case, all the decisions either small or big are in the hands of leader. It is usually taken in negative aspect, but this style is adopted to complete the work according to the requirements of it.

2.  Democratic Style: Also known as participative style. Here, the decisions are taken by the opinions of all the team members and with the consent of employees the leader takes the final decision. The boss becomes participative here helping the employees during work.

3.    Free reign: This kind of leadership style is risky for the leader as well as the management. In this type of style the leader gives authority to one of his team member to take decisions related work. If this style is practiced, it is well and good; otherwise if something goes wrong the leader cannot blame anyone.

These leadership styles can be found in the corporate world. Want to know more on leadership, sign-up the form or visit the link the below
