Characteristics of a Good Leader

 Honesty and integrity Creativity and Innovation

 Empathy Confidence

 Resilience Inspire Others

 Emotional Intelligence Commitment and Passion

 Humility Good Communicator

 Decision Making Capabilities Accountability

 Transparency Delegation and

Empowerment

Democratic Leadership

Democratic leaders include their team members in their decision-making process. While they are ultimately

responsible for making final decisions, they often ask team members what they think and try to take their

thoughts and opinions into account. This can help increase engagement among team members, but it may

not always be the best style for leaders who need to make quick decisions.

Autocratic Leadership

On the other end of the effective leadership styles spectrum, autocratic leaders make all decisions on their

own without consulting with team members. This can be a good system for making quick decisions.

However, it can make team members feel out of touch or dissatisfied with their working environment if

they don’t feel like their opinions or ideas are ever considered in those important decisions.

Laissez-Faire Leadership

Leaders who practice this style are known for giving their team members a lot of freedom. They provide

support and resources for team members when it’s necessary, but they don’t constantly micromanage

employees. This can be an effective leadership style if you have a lot of trust among your team members
and you know that they do good work and manage their time well on their own. However, if you’re

working with newer team members or those who need more guidance or time-management help, it may not

be as effective.

Charismatic Leader

Charismatic leadership is basically the method of encouraging behaviors in others by way of eloquent

communication, persuasion and force of personality. Charismatic leaders motivate followers to get things

done or improve the way certain things are done. This is accomplished by conjuring up eagerness in others

to achieve a stated goal or vision. The charismatic leadership style has its basis in a form of heroism. This

leadership style is almost of divine origin.

Difference between the Democratic and the Authoritarian Leadership Style

The democratic leadership style is quite simple different from the authoritarian leadership style. The

democratic of leadership is quite flexible and encourages an atmosphere of active participation of

employees in the business. The leader is quite firm but approachable and respected by the employees.

The authoritarian is quite inflexible. The leader is extremely firm, quite unapproachable, very forceful,

aggressive, demanding and intimidating, to employees. Employees do as they are told. They are not

involved in the decision-making processes of the business. The work environment may be quite

uncomfortable for employees.
