Types of Leadership Style




• Autocratic:– Leader makes decisions without reference

to anyone else– High degree of dependency on the leader– Can create de-motivation and alienation

of staff– May be valuable in some types of business

where decisions need to be made quickly and decisively




• Democratic:• Encourages decision making

from different perspectives – leadership may be emphasised throughout the organisation– Consultative: process of consultation before

decisions are taken– Persuasive: Leader takes decision and seeks

to persuade others that the decision is correct




• Democratic:– May help motivation and involvement– Workers feel ownership of the firm

and its ideas– Improves the sharing of ideas

and experiences within the business– Can delay decision making




• Laissez-Faire:– ‘Let it be’ – the leadership responsibilities

are shared by all– Can be very useful in businesses

where creative ideas are important– Can be highly motivational,

as people have control over their working life– Can make coordination and decision making

time-consuming and lacking in overall direction– Relies on good team work– Relies on good interpersonal relations




• Paternalistic:• Leader acts as a ‘father figure’• Paternalistic leader makes decision

but may consult• Believes in the need to support

staff



Factors Affecting Style• Leadership style may be dependent

on various factors:– Risk - decision making and change initiatives

based on degree of risk involved– Type of business – creative business

or supply driven?– How important change is –

change for change’s sake?– Organisational culture – may be long embedded

and difficult to change– Nature of the task – needing cooperation? Direction?

Structure?
