THE 3 BIGGEST LEADERSHIP STYLES AND HOW
TO IDENTIFY THEM

It’s easy to get confused between what a leader and a boss actually
is. As Theodore Roosevelt once said in a famous quote:

“People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader
leads, and the boss drives.”
AUTHORITARIAN OR AUTOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP
 With an autocratic approach, leaders take complete control and tend to make
decisions for the team, rather than asking for their input. Work is fairly
structured and there is little room for creativity or innovative thinking.
 This type of leader can make quick decisions for their team as they are
solely in charge. Also, there is a clear line of demand if an employee wants
to raise a query or issue.
 However, if a leader discourages input from their employees, this may have
a negative impact on team morale and create resentment. People have
different levels of expertise and the leader could easily ignore the solution
from a team member due to their reluctance to ask others for ideas.
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
 Members of the team take a more collaborative approach with
democratic leadership. Unlike autocratic leadership, creativity is
encouraged and even rewarded with this type of leader.
 As more ideas are flowing around the team, group members are
more committed, meaning productivity is higher.
 On the other hand, some team members may not have the
industry expertise to contribute to the decision making. Also,
select employees may feel like their input is overridden by other
members of the team or simply ignored, which could lower
LAISSEZ-FAIRE LEADERSHIP
 Laissez-faire is a French term that translates to ‘leave alone’, as that
is essentially what the leader does. They take a hands-off approach,
giving the group members complete freedom to make decisions.
 This type of leadership would benefit a team who are highly skilled
and value their own independence, rather than having someone
micro-manage every task.
 However, a big disadvantage of this type of leadership is that the
leader isn’t technically leading. It could be perceived that they are
avoiding their responsibility and may not take accountability for
their team, blaming individuals if a task goes wrong.
