E. Leadership

2. Leadership Style: The behaviour pattern exhibited by the leader while influencing the follower is known
as leadership style. The following are the styles of leadership:
o Authoritative: An authoritative or autocratic leader does not allow anybody tO take part in decision-
making except himself. He makes his own decisions and enforces his subordinates to give shape to the
decisions taken by him. In other words, centralisation of authority is the keynote of this leadership.
o Democratic: A democratic leader allows everybody to take part in decision-making. Every subordinate
is delegated the authority to make decisions concerning the duties assigned to him. Decentralisation of
authority and decision-making are the important features of democratic leadership.
o Laissez faire: This leadership is more liberal than democratic leadership and grants everyone the liberty
to make decision according to his liking. The leader does not interfere in any way with the decision-
making of his subordinate.
