5. Well-known leadership styles?
•
•
•
•
Autocratic Leadership
Bureaucratic Leadership
Democratic/Participative Leadership
Laissez-Faire Leadership

6. Autocratic Leadership
•
•
•
•
•
Autocratic leadership is an extreme form of transactional leadership, where
leaders have a lot of power over their people.
The benefit of autocratic leadership is that it's incredibly efficient. Decisions are
made quickly, and work gets done efficiently.
The downside is that most people resent being treated this way. Therefore,
autocratic leadership can often lead to high levels of absenteeism and high staff
turnover.
Autocratic leadership is often best used in crises, when decisions must be made
quickly and without dissent.
For example, the military often uses an autocratic leadership style; top
commanders are responsible for quickly making complex decisions, which allows
troops to focus their attention and energy on performing their allotted

7. Bureaucratic Leadership
•
•
•
•
•
Bureaucratic leaders work "by the book." They follow rules rigorously, and ensure
that their people follow procedures precisely.
This is an appropriate leadership style for work involving serious safety risks (such
as working with machinery, with toxic substances, or at dangerous heights) or
where large sums of money are involved.
Bureaucratic leadership is also useful in organizations where employees do
routine tasks (as in manufacturing).
The downside of this leadership style is that it's ineffective in teams and
organizations that rely on flexibility, creativity, or innovation.
Much of the time, bureaucratic leaders achieve their position because of their
ability to conform to and uphold rules, not because of their qualifications or
expertise. This can cause resentment when team members don't value their
expertise or advice.

8. Democratic/Participative Leadership
•
•
•
•
•
Democratic leaders make the final decisions, but they include team
members in the decision-making process.
Team members tend to have high job satisfaction and are productive
because they're more involved in decisions.
The approach can slow decision-making, but most suitable when
working as a team is essential, and when quality is more important
than efficiency or productivity.
The downside of democratic leadership is that it can often hinder
situations where speed or efficiency is essential.
For instance, during a crisis, a team can waste valuable time
gathering people's input. Another downside is that some team
members might not have the knowledge or expertise to provide high
quality input.

9. Laissez-Faire Leadership
•
•
•
•
means "leave it be" in French
Laissez-faire leaders give their teams complete freedom to do their work and
set their own deadlines. They provide team support with resources and advice,
if needed, but otherwise don't get involved.
This leadership style can be effective if the leader monitors performance and
gives feedback to team members regularly. It is most likely to be effective
when individual team members are experienced, skilled, self-starters.
The main benefit of laissez-faire leadership is that giving team members so
much autonomy can lead to high job satisfaction and increased productivity.
The downside is that it can be damaging if team members don't manage their
time well or if they don't have the knowledge, skills, or motivation to do their
work effectively.
