• Authoritative/Autocratic Leadership

Page 5: Leadership

• Authoritarian leaders provide clear expectations

to group members on what should be done,

when it should be completed and how it should

be accomplished.

• These leaders make decisions without input from group members.

Page 7: Leadership

Participative/Democratic Leadership

• Participative leaders accept input from one or more group members when making decisions and solving problems, but the leader retains the final say when choices are made.

• Group members tend to be encouraged and motivated by this style of leadership.

Page 8: Leadership

Participative/Democratic Leadership

• This style of leadership often leads to more effective and accurate decisions, since no leader can be an expert in all areas.

• Input from group members with specialized knowledge and expertise creates a more complete basis for decision-making.

Page 9: Leadership

Deligative Leadership

• Delegative leaders allow group members to make decisions.

• This style is best used in situations where the leader needs to rely on qualified employees.

• The leader cannot be an expert in all situations, which is why it is important to delegate certain tasks out to knowledgeable and trustworthy group members.
