    This document discusses different leadership styles and the differences between managers and leaders. It outlines three main leadership styles: autocratic, where the leader dictates decisions without input; democratic, which involves employees in decision making but maintains final authority; and delegative, where the leader allows employees to make most decisions. Effective leaders vary their style as needed and motivate employees through rewards rather than penalties.

    Leadership Goals

    Leadership style is the manner and approach of providing direction, implementing plans, and motivating people. Leaders vary their styles. A leader is not strictly one or another style. Most leaders use all three styles; one style, however, becomes the dominate one. Positive Leaders use rewards (independence, education) to motivate employees. Negative Leaders use penalties with employees. These leaders act domineering and superior w/people. Negative penalties include: days off without pay, reprimanding in front of others, assigning unpleasant job tasks.
