This document discusses three leadership styles: authoritarian, participative, and delegative. The authoritarian style involves leaders making decisions without input from followers. It is effective when the leader has all information or is short on time. The participative style involves including employees in decision making while maintaining final authority. It builds commitment but can be seen as a weakness. The delegative style allows employees to make decisions while the leader remains responsible. It is used when employees have the ability to analyze situations and priorities need to be set. Examples of each style are also provided.
