Task vs. Person Orientation
Person-Oriented Leaders (Theory Y Leaders)
High in consideration act in warm and supportive manner and show
concern for their subordinates
Believed that employees are intrinsically motivated, seek responsibility
and self-controlled and do not necessarily dislike work
Work can be as natural as play if the conditions are favorable.
Tend to appreciate humor
By Douglas Mc Gregor
Task vs. Person Orientation
Task-Oriented Leaders (Theory X Leaders)
High in initiating structure, define and structure their own rules and those of
their subordinates to attain the group’s formal goals
Sees employees as lazy, extrinsically motivated, wanting security,
undisciplined and shirking responsibility
Theory X assumes that the primary source of employee motivation is
monetary, with security as a strong second.
One can take a hard or soft approach to getting results. The hard approach to
motivation relies on coercion, implicit threats, micromanagement, and tight
controls— essentially an environment of command and control. The soft
approach, however, is to be permissive and seek harmony in the hopes that, in
return, employees will cooperate when asked.
By Douglas Mc Gregor
Task vs. Person Orientation
Theory Z Leaders (Japanese Style of Leadership)
stresses the need to help workers become generalists, rather than
specialists. It views job rotations and continual training as a means of
increasing employees’ knowledge of the company and its processes
while building a variety of skills and abilities.
Since workers are given much more time to receive training, rotate
through jobs, and master the intricacies of the company’s operations,
promotions tend to be slower.
The rationale for the drawn-out time frame is that it helps develop a
more dedicated, loyal, and permanent workforce, which benefits the
company; the employees, meanwhile, have the opportunity to fully
develop their careers at one company.

B. Charismatic Leadership
C. Laissez-Faire Leadership
D. Autocratic Leadership
Types of Leadership
1. Autocratic Leadership
As the name implies, this leadership style is one person in control of
everything. This person makes the decisions, and that is final. Also,
there is no input from other people in decision making.
While this can be great in times of crises, or when there are safety
concerns of the employees, it may not always be the best because your
employees will feel devalued and look for work somewhere else.
This type of leadership is best-applied to circumstances where there is
little or no time for group decision-making or where the leader is the
most informed or knowledgeable member of the group.
Types of Leadership
2. Laissez-Faire Leadership
This leader is NOT directly involved in decision making and
puts a lot of trust into the team. The leader with this style
will know what’s going and gives feedback when needed.
Laissez-faire is French, and it means “hands-off.” One
positive feature for this style of leadership is your
employees feel appreciated and confident that they can
make good decisions.
One downside of this style, employees may take your
hands off approach too far and begin slack off or take
advantage of your approach.
Types of Leadership
3. Pace-Setter Leadership
Just like the pace car in a race, a pace setter leader is one
that sets the bar high and expects work to be done fast and
right. This is perfect for highly energized professionals who
know what they are doing and are driven to succeed.
The biggest downside to this style is that some employees,
no matter how driven, can become over-stressed and
burned out.
This is a leadership style that will work the best when
introducing an exciting new product or service to the world.
Types of Leadership
4. Democratic Leadership
Democratic Leadership is the middle ground between
Laissez-faire and Autocratic. This leader will listen to others’
opinions but will make the final decision.
The leader still is very involved in day to day activities but
will allow for more creative thinking to flourish. The
downside of this style is when a decision has to be made
right away.
Types of Leadership
5. Servant Leadership
In this style, the leader is second to the employees. This
model follows a people or idea first premise. The leader
highlights the individual or the team as opposed to him or
herself.
This is one of the best styles for nonprofit or other
humanitarian business because the people are as
important as the mission.
This type is also good to use when the team is suffering
from low morale.
Types of Leadership
6. Transformational Leadership
This type have a vision and share it with his team to get
them excited about his vision
This leader is self-aware, authentic, empathetic and
humble. These leaders want everyone to succeed and
accomplish the shared vision.
And when people feel they are sharing in something great,
they will make every effort to be the best and do the best
work.
Types of Leadership
7. Transactional Leadership
Transactional Leadership is a reward/punishment model.
Example :
If one of the team members sells the most cars in one month,
he or she will be rewarded with a gift card to their favorite
restaurant.
On the other hand there is the punishment side such as if
someone doesn’t sell their quota, they could lose working
hours, be demoted or other punishments.
This leadership style may inspire some to do better
because something they want is on the line. Yet, this
leadership may also lower morale because of the
punishments.
Types of Leadership
8. Charismatic Leadership
This is a leadership style that comes with a personality that
people just love. These leaders inspire, motivate and
energize the team.
This style may increase team morale and success
