Leadership is defined as influencing people to accomplish goals. Leaders direct the path, plan, control, organize, distribute work, motivate, and achieve the goal. Managers maintain and control, while leaders innovate, inspire, and take a long term view. There are three main leadership styles: authoritarian where the leader makes all decisions without input; democratic where the leader consults subordinates and considers many ideas; and laissez-faire where subordinates have complete freedom in decisions. The effective leadership style depends on the leader's personality, the staff's personalities, and the organization's values.
