This document discusses three leadership styles: autocratic, free-rein, and participative. Autocratic leadership involves little input from group members and decisions being dictated by leaders. Free-rein leadership provides complete freedom for followers with little guidance. Participative leadership encourages sharing of ideas but the leader has final say. Each style has pros like fast decisions or satisfaction, and cons like resentment or lack of expertise.
