Types of Leadership……
1. Transactional Leadership - The best way to understand transactional leadership is to think of
a typical transaction: I give you this, and you do this in return.
2. Transformational Leadership - Transformational leaders seek to change (ahem, transform)
the businesses or groups in which they lead by inspiring their employees to innovate.These
leaders are all about making improvements and finding better ways to get things done.
3. Servant Leadership - Rather than thinking about how they can inspire people to follow their
lead, they channel the majority of their energy into finding ways that they can help others. They
prioritize the needs of other people above their own.
4. Democratic Leadership - You might also hear this leadership style referred to as “participative
leadership.” Leaders in this category run groups and projects like…well, a democracy. Even if
these leaders are technically higher on the org chart, they emphasize working together and
actively involve their teams in the decision-making process.
5. Autocratic Leadership - Autocratic leaders view themselves as having absolute power and make
decisions on behalf of their subordinates. They dictate not only what needs to be done, but also how
those tasks should be accomplished.
6. Bureaucratic Leadership - Bureaucratic leadership goes “by the book,” so to speak. With this
leadership style, there’s a prescribed set of boxes to check in order to be a true leader. For example,
bureaucratic leaders have hierarchical authority—meaning their power comes from a formal
position or title, rather than unique traits or characteristics that they possess.
7. Charismatic Leadership - Charismatic leaders have magnetic personalities, as well as a lot of
conviction to achieve their objectives. Rather than encouraging behaviors through strict
instructions, these leaders use eloquent communication and persuasion to unite a team around a
cause. They’re able to clearly lay out their vision and get others excited about that same goal.
