    “Leadership Styles”

    Overview

    The handout discusses the three main leadership styles, which are autocratic, democratic, and

    laissez-faire leadership. Autocratic leadership involves the leader making decisions without

    consulting their team or followers, while democratic leadership involves the leader involving

    their team in the decision-making process and valuing their input. Laissez-faire leadership

    involves the leader delegating authority and responsibility to their team, allowing them to make

    decisions and take action independently (Cherry, 2022).

    In the topic questions clearly provides examples of when each style may be most appropriate,

    such as using autocratic leadership in emergency situations, democratic leadership for creativity

    and innovation, and laissez-faire leadership for highly skilled and experienced teams. The report

    also explains that leaders can and should adapt their styles based on the situation and the people

    involved.

    Further, leaders can and should adapt their leadership styles depending on the situation,

    followers, and tasks at hand. Effective leaders recognize when to switch between different

    leadership styles and adapt their approach accordingly, building stronger relationships with their

    team, increasing motivation and productivity, and achieving better outcomes.

    Among these leadership styles, democratic leadership is perceived as the most favorable

    leadership style, which is due to its value of team members' input and participation, fostering

    collaboration and teamwork, and empowering individuals to contribute to the decision-making

    process. Democratic leadership can lead to increased motivation and engagement, better
    problem-solving, and the consideration of a diversity of opinions and perspectives, ultimately

    resulting in superior decision-making outcomes (Chukwusa, 2019).
