This document discusses different leadership styles and approaches, including trait, situational, functional, and transformational approaches. It describes three common leadership styles as authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire. The situational approach determines the most effective leadership style based on factors like the relationship between leader and followers, task behavior, and follower maturity. Transformational leadership involves giving a group a new vision and structure to transform it, and establishing quality relationships with members through inspiration and intellectual stimulation.
