Affiliative Leader: Swamy Vivekananda:

Affiliative leaders create emotional bonds and harmony along with the kind
of resonance that can help boost performance and maximize employee
retention. This kind of leadership is very useful in repairing broken
trust in an organization. Affiliative leaders create strong personal ties to
facilitate business activities.
Authoritative Leader:
Authoritative leaders mobilize their organizations toward a common vision.
They are tenacious, aggressive, and have winning as their primary goal.
They sometimes miss the larger mission of leadership, which is articulating
a vision.

Vladimir Putin

Being the president of Russia since 2012, Vladimir Putin has one strong
vision, that is, to put Russia to its glory once again. Despite what seemingly
looks like a democratic government, Russia is not totally without the
autocratic leadership of Putin. This was according to the people behind the
Russian president. They say that Putin is on top of the checks and
balances in running the country in which most of the laws are not without
the consent of Putin. He was able to consolidate power in a central
government. Critics have said that the Russian president used intimidation
and slander to solidify his government. Also, with the help of his allies, he
was able to seek for a third term in presidency by altering the constitution.

Coaching leader:
Coaching leaders develop people for the future. They delegate well and
stretch their employees. The downside is that coaching leaders can
become prone to micro-management and may stifle creativity.

Coercive Leader:

Kim Jong Un leader of north koria:

Coercive or autocratic leadership is a very direct form of leadership built on


instructing employees what to do and how to do it, all while expecting strict
compliance. It's an authoritarian leadership style that leaves little room for error
and demands results. Coercive leaders often have full control over their
employees, offering a low degree of autonomy. They often work closely with
their employees with nearly unlimited authority.
Coercive leaders demand immediate compliance. They make tough
decisions and generally put the job at hand before harmony. They must
take care that their hard-and-fast attitude doesn't stifle communication.

Democratic Leader:
Democratic leaders build consensus through participation. When they are
uncertain about direction, they solicit feedback from all parts of the
organization. This style can have its drawbacks. If you rely too much on this
approach, it can create a quagmire of meetings, with consensus remaining
elusive.
P.V.Narasimha Rao
Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister when Manmohan Singh opened up
the economy in 1991, a role for which he is known as the Father of Indian
Economic Reforms. He also introduced computer based trading system of
the National Stock Exchange in 1994 and encouraged FDI inflows into the
country to revive its flagging economy. He also took important decisions
that strengthened the internal security of the country. An astute politician,
he passed several important laws through a mixture of cunning and guile
even though he headed a minority government.

Pace Setting Leader:


Pacesetting leadership, as the name implies, focuses on the leader setting
the pace for the organization by adopting a “Do as I do. Now.” approach.
Team members watch the pacesetting leader and his or her speed,
performance and quality of work. The same output is expected from the
team since the pacesetting leader sets an example for others to follow. As
the team performs, trouble looms if the end-product isn’t provided by the
stated deadline and doesn’t meet the leader’s high expectations. Results
are what counts in the end.

A pacesetting leader is guided by the principle of not assigning a task to an


incapable employee. In other words, this leader won’t give an employee
more than he or she can handle. Therefore, the leader believes that it’s fair
to either swoop in and take over from an employee who is failing or fire that
employee on the grounds of incompetence.

What does the word pacesetting mean?


The word pacesetting means:

 “A person, group or organization that is the most progressive or


successful and serves as a model to be imitated.”
 “A person or thing that sets the pace, as in racing.”

Virat Kohili- Captain of the National Cricket Team of India – (Born


1988)

Virat Kohili’s pacesetting leadership style[4] aptly portrays how this type of
leader can be a trendsetter. Cricket is a sport that requires agility, focus
and teamwork. However, Kohili began his international cricket career being
slightly overweight. His team members also had similar physical
characteristics.

Poor fitness led to the team’s demise on several occasions. Kohili knew
that something had to be done. He embarked on a rigorous fitness regime
and expected his teammates to follow suit. Those who didn’t and ultimately
remained unfit were excluded from the playing squad. Kohili’s approach
inevitably led to India’s cricket team becoming an indomitable force. They
even won the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
