These leaders are result oriented, not staff oriented.

to be obeyed.

often unhappy in the workplace.

that suffered from poor performance records/
Democratic: - We are going to vote on it!
There leaders are driven by “ group decision making” they are focused on the team as opposed
to individual employees.
They tend to be open-minded and down to earth.
Using just this style of leadership can create highly motivated and creative teams.

to the company.

that has been in the company for while.

3. Two main leadership styles
Supportive style
Supportive leaders are interested in result for company
Believe employees should be free to exercise their own initiatives to getting the job done.
Relying on teamwork, group interaction and positive reinforcement describe a supportive
leader.
Supportive leader stands in the middle of the pack and says “well team, we have a huge
marathon ahead of us, how do you think we should tackle this?
Directive style
Directive leaders are also interested in the company result but believe they need to tell
employees exactly what to do to get the desired results.
Think of movie directors sitting in their chair yelling “Cur, action, take two” Directive managers
give the orders and people listen.
A directive style also uses positive reinforcement, but direction and structure are the primary
directives.
A directive style approach would be to stand in front of the team and say “okay team” were
running a marathon today, any question? No? then let’s go!
