This style does come with drawbacks. It can cause people to feel
devalued, and it can have a strong and overwhelming negative impact
on the work climate.
Goleman’s study determined that this style has the most positive
impact on change, closely followed by the affiliative, democratic
and coaching styles. By using clear directions and providing
motivation and feedback on task performance, the authoritative
style’s strength is enthusiastic, long-term direction.
Affiliative
In this “people come first” style, an affiliative leader praises and
nurtures members to cultivate a sense of belonging in an
organization.
Leaders should not use this style alone. It can create a culture
where poor performance or even mediocrity is tolerated.
Constructive criticism is also left out in this style, meaning
employees will likely stay stagnant in their workplace
performance.
Democratic
The democratic style can be summed up with the question “What
do you think?” Focused on getting feedback, leaders can receive
valuable ideas and confirmation while building an environment of
trust, commitment and respect.
