What is
leadership?

- is a process of
social influence,
which maximizes
the efforts of
others towards
the achievement
of a goal.
According to some of the well-known personalities:

• “The only definition of a leader is

someone who has followers.” - Peter
Drucker
• “Leadership is the capacity to translate
vision into reality.” – Warren Bennis
• “As we look ahead into the next
century, leaders will be those who
empower others.” – Bill Gates

more, nothing less.” – John Maxwell

So, what is leadership?

STYLES OF LEADERSHIP
1. Laissez-Faire Leadership
- is described as hands-off approach meaning
let the people do as they choose”.
- the leader does not supervise the employee
instead the employee has the right for decision-
making.

This kind of leadership is effective in condition

wherein the employees are both motivated and
capable to work with minimal supervision or
no supervision at all.

However, if your employees lack the drive and

the knowledge to accomplish the tasks on their
own this could lead to confusion with minimal
work accomplishments. You might consider this
style in situation wherein a leader remains
available for and question and give feedback.
 2. Autocratic Leadership
• the leader exercises full control
over all decisions and the
employees cannot put forward
their views or question the
leader’s way of getting things
done even if they are best for the
organizational interests.
• Total autocratic leaders are often
disliked by their employees,
which stifles creativity and can
lead to high turnover rates.

The advantage is that it leads to

fast decision-making process and
greater productivity, but the
drawbacks lead to greater
employee absenteeism. This
leadership style is best when the
job is monotonous or routinely in
nature.
3. Participative Leadership

• is a combination of laissez-faire and

autocratic leadership to find a middle
ground. It is also known as democratic
leadership.
• the leader actively encourages the
participation of employees in the decision-
making process.

The advantage of this kind of leadership style is

it improves employee morale, unity and
independence because they are valued and
respected. However, this does not work well in
situation where immediate decisions are to be
made as participation process can take some
time.
4. Transactional Leadership

• this leadership styles incorporates

rewards and punishments in
exchange for employee
performance.
• The leader provides direction and
oversight and then reviews the
employee’s performance in
meeting their goals.

Employees are given rewards for the

job well done but punishments are
given to those who failed to meet
the goal. Typically, this kind of
leadership is more passive and does
not encourage out-of-the-box
thinking.
 5. Transformational Leadership
• leader is a role model for their
employee and strives to
understand their strengths and
weaknesses to enable them to
be their best.

• This leadership style promotes

inclusion within the group
meaning the leader identifies
the need for change and then
become part of the agent for
change through -inspiration
and motivation.
