Styles of leadership:

Leadership style is the general way or pattern of behaviour of a leader towards his followers in order to influence their behaviour to attain a goal.

The main styles of leadership are as follows:-

(1) Autocratic and authoritarian leadership: An autocratic leader is one who centralizes power and make all the decisions himself. He tells his followers what to do and expects to be obeyed without questions. Thus, such a leader imposes his will on his followers.

Autocratic leaders may be of two types:-

(i) Pure autocrat or Negative leader: He is a dictator and makes all decisions himself. He superimposes his decisions on his subordinates. He uses fear of punishment or penalty to carry out his decisions. Thus, it is a negative leadership.

(ii) Benevolent autocrat or positive leader: When an autocrat leader avoids negative coercive power and uses reward power to influence his subordinates, he is called a benevolent autocrat leader. Such a leader shows active concern for the feelings and welfare of his subordinates.
