5. 1. Autocratic / commanding/
Authoritarian Leadership
The autocratic leadership style
allows managers to make
decisions alone without the input
of others. Managers possess total
authority and impose their will on
employees. No one challenges
the decisions of autocratic
leaders. Countries such as Cuba
and North Korea operate under
the autocratic leadership style.
This leadership style benefits
employees who require close
supervision. Creative employees
who thrive in group functions
detest this leadership style.

6. 2. Democratic/ participative
Leadership
• Democratic leaders make
the final decisions, but they
include team members in
the decision-making
process. They encourage
creativity, and people are
often highly engaged in
projects and decisions. As a
result, team members tend
to have high job satisfaction
and high productivity. This is
not always an effective style
to use, though, when you
need to make a quick
decision.

7. 3. Strategic Leadership Style
• Strategic leadership is one that involves a
leader who is essentially the head of an
organization. The strategic leader is not
limited to those at the top of the
organization. It is geared to a wider audience
at all levels who want to create a high
performance life, team or organization.
• The strategic leader fills the gap between the
need for new possibility and the need for
practicality by providing a prescriptive set of
habits. An effective strategic leadership
delivers the goods in terms of what an
organization naturally expects from its
leadership in times of change. 55% of this
leadership normally involves strategic
thinking.

8. 4. Transformational Leadership
• The transformational
leadership style depends on
high levels of communication
from management to meet
goals. Leaders motivate
employees and enhance
productivity and efficiency
through communication and
high visibility. This style of
leadership requires the
involvement of management
to meet goals. Leaders focus
on the big picture within an
organization and delegate
smaller tasks to the team to
accomplish goals

9. 5. Team Leadership/affiliative
Leadership
• Team leadership
involves the creation of
a vivid picture of its
future, where it is
heading and what it will
stand for. The vision
inspires and provides a
strong sense of purpose
and direction

10. 6. Cross-Cultural Leadership
• This form of leadership normally
exists where there are various
cultures in the society. This
leadership has also industrialized
as a way to recognize front
runners who work in the
contemporary globalized market.
• Organizations, particularly
international ones require leaders
who can effectively adjust their
leadership to work in different
environs. Most of the leaderships
observed in the United States are
cross-cultural because of the
different cultures that live and
work there

11. 7. Facilitative Leadership
• Facilitative leadership is
too dependent on
measurements and
outcomes – not a skill,
although it takes much
skill to master. The
effectiveness of a group is
directly related to the
efficacy of its process. If
the group is high
functioning, the
facilitative leader uses a
light hand on the process.

12. 8. Laissez-faire / free rein Leadership
A laissez-faire leader lacks direct
supervision of employees and fails to
provide regular feedback to those
under his supervision. Highly
experienced and trained employees
requiring little supervision fall under
the laissez-faire leadership style.
However, not all employees possess
those characteristics. This leadership
style hinders the production of
employees needing supervision. The
laissez-faire style produces no
leadership or supervision efforts
from managers, which can lead to
poor production, lack of control and
increasing costs

13. 9. Transactional Leadership
Managers using the transactional
leadership style receive certain tasks
to perform and provide rewards or
punishments to team members
based on performance results.
Managers and team members set
predetermined goals together, and
employees agree to follow the
direction and leadership of the
manager to accomplish those goals.
The manager possesses power to
review results and train or correct
employees when team members fail
to meet goals. Employees receive
rewards, such as bonuses, when
they

14. 10. Coaching Leadership
• Coaching leadership
involves teaching and
supervising followers. A
coaching leader is highly
operational in setting where
results/ performance
require improvement.
Basically, in this kind of
leadership, followers are
helped to improve their
skills. Coaching leadership
does the following:
motivates followers,
inspires followers and
encourages followers.

15. 11. Charismatic Leadership
• In this leadership, the charismatic
leader manifests his or her
revolutionary power. Charisma
does not mean sheer behavioral
change. It actually involves a
transformation of followers’
values and beliefs.
• Therefore, this distinguishes a
charismatic leader from a simply
populist leader who may affect
attitudes towards specific
objects, but who is not prepared
as the charismatic leader is, to
transform the underlying
normative orientation that
structures specific attitudes.

16. 12. Visionary Leadership
• This form of leadership
involves leaders who
recognize that the
methods, steps and
processes of leadership
are all obtained with
and through people.
Most great and
successful leaders have
the aspects of vision in
them

17. 13. The coercive leader
• The coercive leader demands
immediate compliance. If this
style were summed up in one
phrase, it would be “Do what I
tell you.” The coercive style is
most effective in times of crisis,
such as in a company turnaround
or a takeover attempt, or during
an actual emergency like a
tornado or a fire. This style can
also help control a problem
teammate when everything else
has failed. However, it should be
avoided in almost every other
case because it can alienate
people and stifle flexibility and
inventiveness.

18. 14. Pacesetting Leadership
• — expect excellence
and self-direction.
Works best to get quick
results from a highly
competent team.
Negative climate.
