Leaderships Styles
Leaderships Styles ... managers should work for their people, ... and not the reverse. ... If
you think that your people are responsible and that your job is to be responsive, you
really work hard to provide them with the resources and working conditions they need to
accomplish the goals you've agreed to. You realize your job is not to do all the work
yourself or sit back and wait to 'catch them doing something wrong', but to roll up your
sleeves and help them win. If they win, you win. This is from Page 18 of
"Leadership and the One-Minute Manager", by Kenneth Blanchard, Patricia
Zigarmi, and Drea Zigarmi

leaders about how to lead with most efficacious way, Confucius think that the
leaders have to be benevolent, human, fair and moderate.

conclusive way: he buried 460 monks alive, and that until the neck to be beheaded
later.
o However, a determining research completed by R.M. Stogdill in 1948, and
enlarged and revised 25 years later, proves that a group does not exist of features
that define the leadership. Stodgill said that the features and abilities that require
the leadership come determined by a specific situation.

The three styles of leadership There are normally three styles of leadership: (U.S. Army
Handbook , 1973 ) Authoritarian or autocratic Participative or democratic Delegative or
Free Reign
Authoritarian (autocratic) This style is used when the leader tells her employees what he
wants done and how he wants it done, without getting the advice of her followers. Some
of the appropriate conditions to use it is when you have all the information to solve the
problem, you are short on time, and your employees are well motivated.
Participative (democratic) This type of style involves the leader including one or more
employees in on the decision making process (determining what to do and how to do it).
However, the leader maintains the final decision making authority. Using this style is not
a sign of weakness, rather it is a sign of strength that your employees will respect.
Delegative (free reign) In this style, the leader allows the employees to make the
decision. However, the leader is still responsible for the decisions that are made. This is
used when employees are able to analyze the situation and determine what needs to be
done and how to do it. You cannot do everything! You must set priorities and delegate
certain tasks
Although good leaders use all three styles, with one of them normally dominate, bad
leaders tend to stick with one style.
Forces A good leader uses all three styles, depending on what forces are involved
between the followers, the leader, and the situation. Using all three: Telling your
employees that a procedure is not working correctly and a new one must be established
(authoritarian). Asking for their ideas and input on creating a new procedure
(participative). Delegating tasks in order to implement the new procedure (delegative).
