participative leadership style
Input to decision making is encouraged among workers. This method of leadership can be unproductive if members are inexperienced.
autocratic leadership style
The leader makes all the decisions which works perfectly in emergencies when there is little time for discussion. Does not promote communication or teamwork.
Laissez –faire/ Permissive
Little or no direction is provided by the leader. “anything goes”. This style is most often used by inexperienced leaders or by those who choose not to address issues. Staff like this style because workers can do whatever they want to. This is effective when group members are highly skilled and motivated.
Transformational Leaders/ Multicratic
combines the most favorable aspects of all styles and is most frequently used in healthcare (theoretically). The leader applies inspirational motivation by providing a vision for the future and motivates workers to perform beyond expectations. Workers are treated as individuals.
