Q

what are the 5 types of leadership styles?

A
  1. Transformational: Transformational leaders lead by setting an example for employees. This leadership style fosters collaboration. The goal of a transformational leader is to serve as a role model, setting an example for his or her reports.
  2. Transactional: Transactional leaders focus on making exchanges with employees that will bring about desired outcomes. Rewards are offered in exchange for objectives that are met.
  3. Laissez-Faire: Laissez-faire leaders are most appropriate when employees are independently motivated. Otherwise, this leadership style can result in low productivity and chaos, since a laissez-faire leader will provide little direction and mostly allow reports to operate on their own.
  4. Authoritative: Authoritative leadership creates as much chaos in a crisis as laissez-faire. Authoritative leadership sets goals and boundaries while establishing clear expectations. Authoritative leadership also will open decision-making processes to “authority” or experts for key decisions, while authoritarian management styles will close themselves off to all inputs, even experts, or merely use experts to promote the image that they are open to input when they are in fact pursuing their own agenda.
  5. Democratic: Democratic approaches to leadership are most appropriate when employees are highly skilled and can take an active role in decision-making processes.
