This document discusses leadership styles. It defines leadership as motivating a group towards a common goal. It describes three main leadership styles: autocratic/authoritative, democratic/consultative, and free rein. The autocratic style involves complete control by the leader without input from staff. The democratic style involves participation and input from group members. The free rein style gives full authority to staff without guidance. Each style has advantages and disadvantages depending on the situation and experience of the group members. Effective leadership requires adapting styles to situations to help organizations achieve goals.
