Leadership Styles

This document discusses leadership styles and the differences between managers and leaders. It defines three main leadership styles: autocratic, democratic, and delegative. The autocratic style involves telling others what to do without input, while the democratic style involves others in decision making. The delegative style allows others to make most decisions. Effective leaders vary their style and motivate through rewards rather than penalties.

things right, while leaders are people who do the right thing. Warren Bennis

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.

Summary
3 Leadership Styles: Autocratic Democratic (Participative) Delegative (Lais ser faire) Leaders goals are to motivate others to accomplish work/class tasks and to feel that they are contributing to their own professionalism.
