Authoritarian

1. The boss has complete power over their people. Staff and team members have little opportunity to make suggestions, even if these would be in the team's or the organization's best interest.

2. The benefit of autocratic leadership is that it's incredibly efficient. Decisions are made quickly, and work gets done.

Democratic 1. Leaders make the final decisions, include team

members in the decision-making process.

2. Encourage creativity, and team members are often highly engaged in projects and decisions.

3. Benefits-

Team members tend to have high job satisfaction and are productive because they're more involved in decisions. This style also helps develop people's skills. Team members feel in control of their destiny, so they're motivated to work hard by more than just a financial reward.

Laissez -Faire -"leave it be"

1. Managers don't have sufficient control over their work and their people

2. Complete freedom to do their work and set their own deadlines. They provide team support with resources and advice, if needed, but otherwise don't get involved.

3. This leadership style can be effective if the leader monitors performance and gives feedback to team members regularly. It is most likely to be effective when individual team members are experienced, skilled, self-starters.

4. Benefit -giving team members so much autonomy can lead to high job satisfaction and increased productivity.

5. Disadvantage - can be damaging if team members don't manage their time well or if they don't have the knowledge, skills, or motivation to do their work effectively.
