Leadership styles: pros and cons



What do you think are the pros and cons of these styles?


LEADERSHIP STYLE
PROS
CONS
AUTOCRATIC
·        Time effective.
·        Perfect for some cultures, like Japanese.
·        Perfect for some chaotic situations.
·        Rude
·        Not involve the group.
·        Don’t know the group needs.
·        Lack of variety in ideas or plans.
·        It does not fit all groups.
LAISSEZ-FAIRE
·        In my opinion this style have not any pros, because it seems like is not a leader there, the staff is along.
·        Too liberal.
·        It does not fit all groups.
·        It doesn’t work for delivering quick results.
·        Can be hard taking decisions.
·        The Leader as a person who guide is not there.
DEMOCRATIC
·        Variety in ideas or plans.
·        Same Vision and Mission.
·        Great work environment.
·        The leader knows the group needs.
·        The group is motivated.
·        The results and rewards are for the whole group and not only for the leader.
·        It does not fit all groups.
·        Maybe the goals can take longer.
·         


Do you think each person has one specific leadership style?

No, I think not.
I think that a person or a leader can change the leadership style according to the situation, but also it is true that for a person who have an Autocratic style is going to be very hard to become in a Laissez-Faire leader.


What style do you consider to be more effective? Why?

For me the more effective style of leadership is the DEMOCRATIC STYLE, but as I told before not in all the situations and the groups fit the same style.
But I think that the Democratic Style is the more recommended style of leadership, in my opinion creates a very nice environment to work, the staff feels like they belong to something because their ideas are listened, and they work better, the leader can delegate responsibilities in the people of the group because he knows their strengths and weaknesses so he knows what they are capable to do.

I work better with a Democratic Leader but I also knows that in some situations the group needs some authority.
