7. AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
Autocratic leadership is an
extreme form of transactional
leadership, where a leader
exerts high levels of power
over his or her employees or
team members. People within
the team are given few opportunities for
making suggestions, even if these would be in
the team's or organization's interest.

Prepared by : Chandan Jha
8. CONT’D…
Most people tend to resent being treated
like this. Because of this, autocratic
leadership usually leads to high levels of
absenteeism and staff turnover.
Also, the team's output does
not benefit from the creativity
and experience of all team
members, so many of
the benefits of team
work are lost.

9. BUREAUCRATIC LEADERSHIP
Bureaucratic leaders "work by the book",
ensuring that their staff follow procedures
exactly.
is a very appropriate style for work involving
serious safety risks (such as working with
machinery, working at heights) or where large
sums of money are involved (such as cashhandling).
In other situations, the inflexibility and high
levels of control exerted can demoralize staff, and
can diminish the organizations ability to react to
changing external circumstances.

10. CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP
A charismatic leadership style can appear similar to a
transformational leadership style, in that the leader
injects huge doses of enthusiasm into his or her team,
and is very energetic in driving others forward.
However, a charismatic leader can tend to believe
more in him or herself than in their team. This can
create a risk that a project, or even an entire
organization, might collapse if the leader were to
leave: In the eyes of their followers, success is tied up
with the presence of the charismatic leader. As such,
charismatic leadership carries great responsibility,
and needs long-term commitment from the leader. 10

11. DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
Although a democratic leader
will make the final decision,
he or she invites other members
of the team to contribute to the
decision-making process.
This not only increases job
satisfaction by involving
employees or team
Members in what's going on, but it
also helps to develop people's skills.
11
Prepared by : Chandan Jha
12. CONT’D..
Employees and team members feel in control of
their own destiny, and so are motivated to
work hard by more than just a financial
reward. As participation takes time, this style
can lead to things happening more slowly
than an autocratic approach, but often the
end result is better. It can be most suitable
where team working is essential, and quality
is more important than speed to market or
productivity.

13. LAISSEZ-FAIRE
LEADERSHIP
This French phrase means "let them do" and is
used to describe a leader who leaves his or her
colleagues to get on with their work. It can be
effective if the leader monitors what is being
achieved and communicates this back to his or
her team regularly.
Often, laissez-faire leadership works for teams in
which the individuals are very experienced and
skilled self-starters. Unfortunately, it can also
refer to situations where managers are not
exerting sufficient control.

14. PEOPLE-ORIENTED
LEADERSHIP
This style of leadership is the opposite of taskoriented leadership: the leader is totally
focused on organizing, supporting and
developing the people in the leader's team. A
participative style, it tends to lead to good
teamwork and creative collaboration.
However, taken to extremes, it can lead to
failure to achieve the team's goals. In
practice, most leaders use both task-oriented
and people-oriented styles of leadership.

15. SERVANT LEADERSHIP
This term, coined by Robert Greenleaf
in the 1970s, describes a leader who
is often not formally recognized as such.
When someone, at any level within an organization,
leads simply by virtue of meeting the needs of his or
her team, he or she is described as a "servant
leader".
In many ways, servant leadership is a form of
democratic leadership, as the whole team tends to be
involved in decision-making.
15
Prepared by : Chandan Jha
16. CONT’D…
Supporters of the servant leadership model
suggest it is an important way ahead in a
world where values are increasingly
important, in which servant leaders achieve
power on the basis of their values and ideals.
Others believe that in competitive leadership
situations, people practicing servant
leadership will often find themselves left
behind by leaders using other leadership
styles.

17. TASK-ORIENTED LEADERSHIP
A highly task-oriented leader focuses only
on getting the job done, and can be quite
autocratic.
He or she will actively define the work
and the roles required, put structures in
place, plan, organize and monitor.
However, as task-oriented leaders spare
little thought for the well-being of their
teams, this approach can suffer many of
the flaws of autocratic leadership, with
difficulties in motivating and retaining
17
staff.
Prepared by : Chandan Jha
18. TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP
This style of leadership starts with the
premise that team members agree to obey
their leader totally when they take a job.
The transaction is that the organization pays
the team members, in return for their effort
and compliance. As such, the leader has the
right to punish team members if their work
doesn't meet the pre-determined standard.
18
Prepared by : Chandan Jha
19. CONT’D…
Transactional leadership is really just a
way of managing rather a true leadership
style.
As the focus is on short-term tasks. It has
serious limitations for knowledge-based or
creative work, but remains a common
style in many organizations.
19
Prepared by : Chandan Jha
20. TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERSHIP
A person with this leadership style is a true
leader who inspires his or her team with a
shared vision of the future.
Transformational leaders are highly visible, and
spend a lot of time communicating. They don't
necessarily lead from the front, as they tend to
delegate responsibility amongst their teams.
While their enthusiasm is often infectious, they
can need to be supported by "detail people".
20
Prepared by : Chandan Jha
21. CONT’D…
The transformational leadership style is the
dominant leadership style taught in the
"How to Lead: Discover the Leader Within
You" leadership program,
Although we do recommend
that other styles are brought
as the situation demands.
21
Prepared by : Chandan Jha
22. CONT’D…
In many organizations, both
transactional and transformational
leadership are needed.
The transactional leaders (or
managers) ensure that routine work
is done reliably, while the
transformational leaders look after
initiatives that add value.

Leaders know what their mission is.
They know why the organization
exists. A superior leader has a well
thought out mission describing the
purpose of the organization.. Every
employee should be able to identify
with the mission and strive to
achieve it.

Practically speaking, not all
executives immediately possess all
of the characteristics that spell
success.
Many leaders learn along the
way with hard work.
In actuality, greater
competency can be
achieved as a leader

Realistically, few
executives possess
all of the skills and
abilities necessary
to demonstrate total
mastery of every
requisite area
within the
organization.

To complement the
areas of weakness, a
wise leader
assembles effective
teams of
experienced,
credentialed, and
capable individuals
who can supplement
any voids in the
46
leader's skill set.
48. Inspiration
Quite often,
employees need
someone to look
up to for
direction,
guidance, and
motivation.
Employees need
someone to look up
to, admire, and
follow. Even when
the production or
delivery of services
looks like "it is all
going well”
