With servant

leadership,

people are

the most

important

business

component

and their

needs are key

priorities. This

leadership

style focuses

on the

concept that

a satisfied

team will

produce good

work.

The laissez-faire

leadership style

involves

leadership

empowering

staff with

minimal

directives.

The pacesetting

approach requires

setting performance

standards and holding

team members

accountable for

meeting those goals. It

is especially important

for leaders using the

pacesetting approach

to understand and

consider all possible

factors that can

influence

performance.

Additionally, the

pacesetting method

should not be

overused, as it can

lower staff morale

when they do not

achieve the goals.

The democratic

leadership style

involves soliciting

group opinion to

help find the solution

to a difficult

problem. The

democratic

leadership style

tallies the staffs’

opinions for a

possible solution,

which is then

presented to the

organization’s

leadership who

makes the final

decision.

Visionary leadership is

the ideal management

style to use when a

business leader needs to

introduce a new concept

or new direction to

current staff.

-It can inspire

employees by

presenting them

with a powerful

and progressive

future outlook.

-It must make a

strong connection

with their team to

earn their

commitment.

Coaching

leadership

involves honing a

staff member’s

individual talent

so that they can

develop their

experience and

expertise within

their industry or

field.

Affiliative leadership

is used to nurture

workplace morale,

helping staff

members reconnect

with their

organization and

their peers. This

leadership style

focuses on the

group as a unit. It is

important to hold

each employee

accountable for

their role in the

team re-building

process.

The autocratic

leadership

style is where

management

makes a

majority of

decisions and

workers do

what is asked

of them. An

advantage of

this method is

that

companies and

organizations

are able to

execute their

vision in an

efficient and

effective

manner. A

great example

of when this

leadership

style is

appropriate is

for extremely

complex

projects like a

constrution.

The

bureaucratic

leadership style

relies on the

positions

individuals hold

within their

organizations

and businesses

to definitively

outline their

responsibilities,

rules and

regulations

within the

organization. An

advantage of

this leadership

style is that it is

highly efficient

and controllable.

This is due to

the fact that

bureaucratic

leadership can

be thought of as

a system with

several levels of

management,

each reporting

to the level

above it.

Modeled after

the military,

the

commanding

leadership

style involves

no input from

subordinates.

The

commanding

method of

leadership has

long been

known as the

style used in a

time of crisis

when there is

no time for

leadership to

explain what is

happening but

immediate

action is

necessary. In

the daily

workplace, this

is the most

ineffective

leadership

style.

Leader's goal Is to identify the

key skills of its

employees and

instill

knowledge to

help further

develop the

candidate’s

career.
