13. Leadership styles
According to Lewin, there are essentially three core leadership styles, each of which is shortly summarized below.
 Autocratic or authoritarian leadership
 This leadership style emphasizes the role of the leader in terms of the decision-making
process. The leader won’t involve or even consult the team when it comes to deciding the
next course of action.
 Democratic or participative leadership
 Lewin’s style saw leaders under this framework still in charge of the final decisions, but instead
of rejecting input from the subordinates, the leader seeks and encourages engagement.
 Laissez faire leadership
 Under this framework, the subordinates are given the ultimate power to decide how they
want to achieve the vision set forward by the leader. The leader’s role is essentially to provide
the subordinates with the right resources and advice, if needed.
