You must have an honest understanding of who you are, what you know, and what you can do. If they do not trust or lack confidence in their leader, then they will be uninspired.

Leadership Styles
Participative Leadership
This kind of leadership is usually seen in corporate settings. Leaders act more like facilitators rather than dictators.
They facilitate the ideas and the sharing of information with the end goal of arriving at a decision.
Transactional Leadership
The leader motivates his subordinates by presenting them rewards and punishments. All requirements for a subordinate are clearly stated with corresponding rewards. If they fail to satisfy those requirements, they will receive a corresponding punishment.
Transformational Leadership
Transformational leaders lead by motivating by their followers. Leaders appeal to their followers' ideals and morals to motivate them in accomplishing their tasks.
Servant Leadership
In servant leadership, the leader takes care of the needs of his followers first before they take care of their own. Instead of acting like a king to their subordinates, leaders act as servants.
