Lewin's Leadership StylesAutocratic leaders
- Make decisions without consulting their team members. - Appropriate when you need to make decisions quickly.
BUT- However, this style can be demoralizing, and it can lead to high levels of absenteeism and staff turnover.
Lewin's Leadership StylesDemocratic leaders
- Make the final decisions, but they include team members in the decision-making process. - Encourage creativity, and people are often highly engaged in projects and decisions.
BUT- This is not always an effective style to use, though, when you need to make a quick decision.
Lewin's Leadership StylesLaissez-faire
- Team members a lot of freedom in how they do their work, and how they set their deadlines. - They provide support with resources and advice if needed, but otherwise they don't get involved.
BUT- Can be damaging if team members don't manage their time well, or if they don't have the knowledge, skills, or self motivation to do their work effectively.
