A
Authoritarian leadership uses directive and controlling behaviors in which the leader determines policies and makes decisions in isolation. The leader orders subordinates to carry out the tasks or work. This style is helpful in crisis situations. Democratic leadership is a team approach in which the leader shares responsibility for decision making and quality improvement. Laissez-faire lea-dership does not interfere with decision making or policy setting. Servant leadership is a method used to facilitate the work of others by serving subordinates through nurturing autonomy and personal growth.
