Essay on Leadership Styles
"Traditional methods and styles of leadership must change to meet the changing environment
"(Sims, 2002, p.242). Sims (2002) argues that organizations can ensure success by developing
individuals in leadership positions as leaders and managers. There is a perception that leadership is
a level above management. McConnell (2006) states that there are differences between leading and
managing. In short, "people obey managers because they must or they expect to; people follow
leaders because they want to" (McConnell, 2006, p.147).Therefore, leadership can be defined as "the
act of influencing others to work toward a goal" (Bauer & Erdogen, 2009, p.285) and can be

Ismail et al. (2010) refer to consultative leadership and participative leadership as humanisticโ€“ based
leadership styles. Participative leadership is often described as "bottomโ€“up or 'we' (all of us
together) management" (McConnell, 2006, p.149). McConnell (2006) describes such leaders as
people oriented, and the participative leadership style has subsets, such as the consultative and
delegative modes. Regarding the consultative mode, Bauer and Erdogen (2009) and McConnell
(2006) state that participative leaders involve employees in the decisionโ€“ making process. Although
participative leaders trust their employees in decisionโ€“ making, Sims (2002) states that participative
leaders retain the authority to take action whenever necessary. In the delegative mode, participative
leaders share responsibilities and tasks with employees, clearly communicating with their employees.
Participative leadership and consultative leadership are quite similar. Ismail et al.(2010) state that
consultative leaders tend to always request employees' opinions and ideas in establishing goals and
task assignments. They believe that the participative and consultative styles would motivate
employees and their commitment to their organization, which leads to higher job satisfaction.
Madlock (2008) also believes that leadership styles such as participative leadership and consultative
leadership that promote
