    Behavioral theories focus on what leaders actually do rather than innate traits. Lewin identified three leadership styles: democratic, where the leader involves others in decision making but makes the final call; autocratic, where the leader decides alone without input; and laissez-faire, where the leader is minimally involved and allows people to make their own decisions, which works best when people are capable and motivated.

    Behavioral Theory

    Behavioral theories of leadership do not seek inborn traits or capabilities. Rather, they look at what leaders actually do.

    Lewins leadership styles:


    Democratic Autocratic Laissez-Faire

    Democratic
    The leader will involves the people in decisionmaking, although the process of the final decision still depends on the leader. Democratic decision-making is usually appreciated by the people. However, it can be very problematic when there is a wide range of ideas given by the group members.

    Autocratic
    Takes decision without consulting with others. Consultation are not made in the decisions made.

    Laissez-Faire
    It minimize the leaders involvement in decision making. It allow people to make their own decisions. It works best when people are capable & motivated in making their own decisions. For example: sharing resources across a range of different people and groups.
