Those in management position must develop a leadership style. The selection of styles is contingent on the leader’s personal traits. Ultimately, the leader has to select a style that will be most effective for the situation at hand.

The general leadership style includes: autocratic, democratic, participative, and laissez faire.

Autocratic leaders tend to tells subordinates what to do and expect them to do it. The subordinates of an autocratic leader are not involved in decision making and have little if any autonomy. Democratic leaders seek input from subordinates and do what the majority of subordinates want. Some argue that a democratic leader is more of a facilitator than a leader. Participative leaders tend to involve subordinates in leadership activities and decision making, but ultimately they retain final authority. A laissez-faire leader takes a hands-off approach to leadership, allowing subordinates to make decisions. The mantra of a laissez- faire leader is “Hire good people and get out of their way.”
