Leadership Styles & Skills
Student Name
What is Leadership:
When it comes to driving organizational performance, leadership
style has been defined as the way a leader influences
subordinates to achieve predetermined goals (Almatrooshi et al.,
2016; Grobler & Du Plessis, 2016). According to some experts,
leadership style have a significant impact on an organization's
performance. Alvesson & Karreman, (2016) have expressed
concern over the researcher's ideological convictions having too
much of an impact, which has resulted in a diversity of views on
the importance of leadership styles for organizational outcomes.
In the subject of leadership research, ideas are progressively
displacing intellectualism and cognitivism (Alvesson & Karreman,
2016).
Different Leadership Styles:
Authoritarian leadership approaches can impose expectations and set
outcomes. When a leader is the team's most knowledgeable member, a
one-person show can be a hit. While this works well when time is short,
your creativity will suffer due to the team's limited input. When team
members need explicit direction, authoritarian leadership is used.
Participatory leadership is based on democratic theory. The goal is to
involve the team in decision-making. As a result, team members feel
valued, engaged, and motivated. The leader usually has the final say in
decision-making. Getting everyone on the same page can take long if there
are disagreements.
Delegative leadership stresses delegating responsibility and initiative to
the rest of the team. This method works well when team members are
capable of taking responsibility and working independently. Disagreements
among members can cause group disunity, low motivation, and low
morale.
Transactional leadership styles rely on "transactions" such as rewards,
punishments, and other types of exchange. The leader sets explicit goals,
and the team members understand how success will be rewarded. This
"give and take" leadership style is more concerned with efficiency than
making radical changes to a corporation.
Transformational leaders inspire their people with a vision and then help
them achieve it. As a result, the leader sets an example for others who
follow.

The way a person inspires others is referred to as their leadership
style. Leaders each have a distinct style based on their personal
beliefs. While this may be true, each person, job, and

others benefit from a laissez-faire attitude. One of the most
important aspects of leadership is being able to adapt one's
style to meet the needs of the situation. When it comes to
leadership, a lot depends on what you think and how you
make decisions. Following that, I'll go over the decision-
