Styles of Leadership

A good leader has many different qualities. First and foremost, they have to know how to be an effective communicator. Leadership has many different styles and skills. First you have to learn about the three different styles of leadership. They are authoritarian, democratic and laissez-faire.



-Authoritarian leadership thinks that people are unable to decide what needs to be done, but instead need guidance. A great example of an authoritarian leader is Adolf Hitler. He answered to no one but tells everyone what they need to do. He was a dictator that lead many people to kill Jews.






-Democratic leadership thinks that people are able to do work on their own without having someone telling them what to do. Franklin D. Roosevelt provides a great example of a democratic leader.He wanted to provide work for the American people and he wanted the economy to get better. He was always concerned about everyone else and what they needed.





-Laissez- faire leadership does not control people and does not try to guide them either. Instead, it ignore workers and their motivations. John Bright was a laissez- faire capitalist that did not like the protection that was given to landholders by laws for the expense of manufacturing. His main goal was the parliamentary reform, which he focused on until the third Reform Bill.
