2. Transactional Leadership This leadership style starts with the idea that team members agree to obey their leader when they accept a job. The "transaction" usually involves the organization paying team members in return for their effort and compliance. Benefits • Clarifies everyone's roles and responsibilities • People who are motivated by external rewards – including compensation – often thrive Downside • Team members can do little to improve their job satisfaction leading to possible high staff turnover

3. The Supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.Dwight D. EisenhowerGood leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.John D. Rockefeller He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.Aristotle

4. Autocratic Leadership Autocratic leadership is an extreme form of transactional leadership, where leaders have complete power over their people. Staff and team members have little opportunity to make suggestions, even if these would be in the team's or the organization's best interest. Benefits • Incredibly efficient • Decisions are made quickly, and work gets done. Downside • Most people resent being treated this way. • High levels of absenteeism and high staff turnover

6. Bureaucratic Leadership Bureaucratic leaders work "by the book." They follow rules rigorously, and ensure that their people follow procedures precisely. Benefits • Appropriate for work involving serious safety risks (such as working with machinery, with toxic substances, or at dangerous heights) or where large sums of money are involved • Useful where employees do routine tasks Downside • Ineffective in organizations that rely on flexibility, creativity, or innovation • Leaders achieve their position based on expertise in upholding rules, not because of qualifications causing • resentment in team members

8. Charismatic Leadership These leaders inspire enthusiasm in their teams and are energetic in motivating others to move forward. Benefits • Great excitement and commitment from teams Downside • Leaders can believe more in themselves than in their teams. • In the followers' eyes, success is directly connected to the presence of the charismatic leader which carries great responsibility, and requires a long-term commitment from the leader.

12. Democratic/Participative Leadership Democratic leaders make the final decisions, but they include team members in the decision-making process. They encourage creativity, and team members are often highly engaged in projects and decisions.

14. Laissez-Faire Leadership “Leave it be" describes leaders who allow their people to work on their own. This type of leadership can also occur naturally, when managers don't have sufficient control over their work and their people. Benefits • Giving team members so much autonomy can lead to high job satisfaction and increased productivity. • Encourages creativity Downside • Can be damaging if team members don't manage their time well or if they don't have the knowledge, skills, or motivation

16. Task-Oriented Leadership Leaders focus only on getting the job done and can be autocratic. They actively define the work and the roles required, put structures in place, and plan, organize, and monitor work. Benefits • Ensures that deadlines are met • Especially useful for team members who don't manage their time well Downside • Can suffer motivation and retention problems

Benefits • Leaders create teams that everyone wants to be part of • Team members are often more productive and willing to take risks Downside • Some leaders may put the development of their team above tasks or project directives.

19. The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say “I.” They don’t think “I.” They think “we”; they think “team.” They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but “we” gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.Peter DruckerAs we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.Bill Gates

20. Servant Leadership Leaders lead simply by meeting the needs of the team. Benefits • Agood way to move ahead in a world where values are increasingly important • Creates a positive corporate culture leading to high morale Downside • Leaders can find themselves left behind by leaders using other leadership styles. • Ill-suited in situations where you have to make quick decisions or meet tight deadlines

21. If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulder of giants.Isaac Newton Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. Colin Powell

22. Transformational Leadership Leaders are inspiring because they expect the best from everyone on their team as well as themselves. Benefits • High productivity and engagement from everyone in their team. Downside • While the leader's enthusiasm is passed onto the team, he or she can need to be supported by "detail people."

23. If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. John Quincy Adams Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.Ralph Waldo Emerson I think leadership comes from integrity – that you do whatever you ask others to do. Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity.Scott Berkun
