- 3. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS: Lead by example – they bring authentic presence, integrity, vision and compassion into their role. Lead with values, meaning and a higher purpose. Demonstrate genuine concern for the needs and feelings of others. Inspire followers to change expectations, perceptions and motivations, and work toward common goals. THE PATH TO BEING THE BEST LEADER : HOW TO LEAD WITH CHARISMA, INTEGRITY, AND CONVICTION Rosalind Brewer “Most people don’t like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.” - John C. Maxwell © 2020 Karmyn Norwood. All rights reserved.
- 4. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS: Facilitate the conversation and encourage people to share their ideas and be a part of the decision making. Involve employees in decisions, delegate assignments and ask employees for suggestions. Capitalize on the team’s skills and talents by letting them share their views, rather than simply expecting them to conform. Larry Page THE PATH TO BEING THE BEST LEADER : HOW TO LEAD WITH CHARISMA, INTEGRITY, AND CONVICTION “If you are a leader, you should never forget, everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it – young or old, successful or less than successful, unknown or famous – is changed by it.” - John C. Maxwell © 2020 Karmyn Norwood. All rights reserved.
- 5. CHARISMATIC LEADERS: Talk the talk and walk the walk – they attract followers and inspire people to action. Place a lot of value in each person and have the ability to truly listen to their concerns. Are capable of initiating and maintaining a significant level of change in the organization. Are secure and confident enough to be comfortable in their own skin. Oprah Winfrey THE PATH TO BEING THE BEST LEADER : HOW TO LEAD WITH CHARISMA, INTEGRITY, AND CONVICTION “People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident.” - John C. Maxwell © 2020 Karmyn Norwood. All rights reserved.
- 6. LAISSEZ-FAIRE LEADERS: Give all rights and power to make decisions to the worker. Believe that people excel when left alone to respond to their responsibilities and obligations. Hand power over to workers, but still take responsibility for the group’s decisions and actions. Warren Buffett THE PATH TO BEING THE BEST LEADER : HOW TO LEAD WITH CHARISMA, INTEGRITY, AND CONVICTION “Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.” - John C. Maxwell © 2020 Karmyn Norwood. All rights reserved.
- 7. AUTOCRATIC LEADERS: Promote compliance by workers through the use of rewards and punishments. Tell subordinates what to do and do not accept complaints or insubordination of any kind. Seek to maintain the status quo. Pay attention to employees’ work in order to find faults and deviations.

Page is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc. Under Page, Alphabet is seeking to deliver major advancements in a variety of industries.

Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University, California. Larry Page is now the CEO of parent company Alphabet, Inc. Democratic Leadership Style (also know as Participative): When Google became too large to easily manage the flow of new ideas and projects, it instituted a schedule of meetings between employees and the company's founders and chief executives. At these meetings, employees can pitch new ideas and projects directly to the top executives. Google employees receive free food cooked by a company chef, are provided with bus rides to work and are allowed to travel through the building on scooters and bicycles. They also have access to company daycare facilities, exercise gyms and other amenities. These perks are intended to help create a fun and creative atmosphere. Pros: -The democratic leadership style is a very open and collegial style of running a team. Ideas move freely amongst the group and are discussed openly. -Everyone is given a seat at the table, and discussion is relatively free-flowing. -This style is needed in dynamic and rapidly changing environments where very little can be taken as a constant. -Qualities of a democratic leader include the ability to give everyone a voice and to encourage creativity. Cons: -It is somewhat slow to make a decision in this structure, so while it may embrace newer and better methods, it might not do so very quickly. -The role and control of the manager may be weakened -Internal conflict due to conflicting views may arise

- Warren Edward Buffett: (born August 30, 1930) is an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist who serves as the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He is considered one of the most successful investors in the world and has a net worth of US$84 billion as of June 3, 2018, making him the fourth wealthiest person in the world. Lassiez-Faire Leadership Style (also known as Delegative): Warren Buffett's "laissez faire" style gives his employees complete freedom to manage projects and think of creative solutions when problems arise. He only intervenes in dire situations. Buffet equates his success and management style to surrounding himself with highly capable, creative thinking individuals who, as Buffet claims, are smarter than him. Pros – Lassiez Faire Works when: -Followers are highly skilled, experienced, and educated. -Followers have pride in their work and the drive to do it successfully on their own. -Outside experts, such as staff specialists or consultants are being used. -Followers are trustworthy and experienced. Cons – This style should not be used when: -The leader cannot or will not provide regular feedback to their followers. -Workers are not good at managing their own projects and solving problems on their own.
- Martha Stewart, Leona Helmsley, Donald Trump examples of autocratic leaders. Autocratic Leadership Style (also known as Authoritarian): Autocratic leadership is characterized by individual control over all decisions and little input from group members. Autocratic leaders typically make choices based on their ideas and judgments and rarely accept advice from followers. Autocratic leadership involves absolute, authoritarian control over a group. Pros: -Effective in small groups where leadership is lacking -Can be used effectively in cases where a great deal of pressure is involved. In situations that are particularly stressful, such as during military conflicts, group members may prefer an autocratic style. -Manufacturing and construction work can benefit from the autocratic style. In these situations, it is essential that each person have a clearly assigned task, a deadline, and rules to follow. Cons: -This style tends to discourage group input. Because autocratic leaders make decisions without consulting the group, people in the group may dislike that they are unable to contribute ideas. -Autocratic leadership can also impair the morale of the group in some cases. People tend to feel happier and perform better when they feel like they are making contributions to the future of the group. Since autocratic leaders typically do not allow input from team members, followers start to feel dissatisfied and stifled.
- Situational leadership theory, or the situational leadership model, is a model by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard, developed while working on Management of Organizational Behavior. The best leaders, he believes, are “situational” — they are able to step into any circumstance and recognize whether they need to engage at the strategy level or dive into the nitty-gritty. People who are viewed as Situational Leaders: Colin Powell, Jack Stahl (Former Chief Executive for Coca-Cola and Revlon). -The fundamental principle of the situational leadership model is that there is no single "best" style of leadership. -Situational leadership refers to when the leader of an organization must adjust his style to fit the development level of the followers he is trying to influence. -With situational leadership, it is up to the leader to change his style, not the follower to adapt to the leader’s style. -In situational leadership, the style may change continually to meet the needs of others in the organization based on the situation. Hersey and Blanchard characterized leadership style in terms of the amount of task behavior and relationship behavior that the leader provides to their followers. They categorized all leadership styles into four behavior types, which they named S1 to S4: S1: Directing – is characterized by one-way communication in which the leader defines the roles of the individual or group and provides the what, how, why, when and where to do the task; S2: Coaching – while the leader is still providing the direction, he or she is now using two-way communication and providing the socio-emotional support that will allow the individual or group being influenced to buy into the process; S3: Supporting – there is shared decision-making about aspects of how the task is accomplished and the leader is providing fewer task behaviours while maintaining high relationship behavior; S4: Delegating – the leader is still involved in decisions; however, the process and responsibility has been passed to the individual or group. The leader stays involved to monitor progress. Of these, no one style is considered optimal for all leaders to use all the time. Effective leaders need to be flexible, and must adapt themselves according to the situation.
