Autocratic: Leader-CenteredIn the autocratic
method, the leader is the spark plug whose policies, ideas, and plans are the ones that are carried out. So this leader mainly seeks obedience from the group in getting things done.

Democratic: Group-CenteredIn the democratic method, the group is
central; from its abilities, ideas, and energies the leader gets the materials to build accomplishment. The leader draws ideas and suggestions from the group by discussion and consultation. Group members are encouraged to take part in setting policy. The leader’s job is largely that of moderator.

Laissez-Faire: Individual-Centered
In the free-rein method, there is a multiple focus. Each individual in the group tends to become a supplier of ideas. The leader is more or less an information booth on had mainly to provide materials and information and exercise minimum control.

Myths About EachAutocratic does not always mean a
dictatorship, or wilful self-satisfaction at the expense of the group.
Democratic does not mean putting all decisions to a vote.
Laissez-Faire does not mean absence of leadership, a group left to lurch along without guidance or direction.

Further Leadership StylesThe characteristics of each of the three
leadership styles are extreme, and most leaders will employ different amounts of each style. Effective leaders should be able to employ all three styles depending on the situation that the group finds itself in. However, within each of these categories there are more narrow types of leadership.
