    The document discusses different leadership styles including autocratic, participative, free-rein, transformational, and charismatic. Autocratic leaders centralize authority and decision making, enabling quick decisions but potentially creating an environment of fear. Participative leaders decentralize authority and encourage input from subordinates, increasing employee satisfaction but potentially slowing decisions. Free-rein leaders avoid power and authority, leaving groups directionless. Transformational leaders motivate subordinates to focus on organizational goals by making them aware of their value. Charismatic leaders gain unquestioned obedience through painting a vision of a better future.
