What are the different leadership styles?

Autocratic








This style of leadership means that an individual would have complete control but only considers a little input from his/her subordinates.

Democratic





Democratic leaders are leaders that include the opinions of their team members in the decision-making progress. This would make the subordinates feel more valued.

Laissez-Faire





This sort of leader allows their people to work on their own. However, this type of leadership can also take place by character.


Bureaucratic




Bureaucratic leaders are leaders that obey the rules very seriously.


Personally, I believe a leader who is democratic and also autocratic would best suit a workplace. This is because, they would get work to be done quickly and efficiently whereas they will also consider a wide variety of ideas and opinions that would benefit the organization/company. Apart from that, their subordinates will also feel valued because of democracy therefore they would be more productive.
