The three major styles of leadership

Authoritarian or Autocratic
Participative or Democratic
Delegative or Free Reign

Autocratic
The authoritarian leader makes decisions alone as
power is centralized in one person. Decisions are
enforced using rewards and the fear of punishment.
it is an abusive, unprofessional style called
bossing people around.

Democratic
The participative leader include one or more
employees in the decision making process.
Communication flow freely; suggestions are made
in both directions. The participation encourages
member commitment to the final decision.

Delegative
The free-rein leader gives power to subordinates
to make the decisions. However, the leader is still
responsible for the decisions that are made. This
is used when employees are able to analyze the
situation. Deligative style is generally not useful.
