Examples of Leadership Behaviors

Formative Task - Examples of Leadership Behaviors

I have already discussed various leadership styles (Amanchukwu et. al., 2015) in discussion
forum week 1 to propound the importance of leadership which was:

 Transformational leadership
 Transactional leadership
 Laissez-faire leadership
 Democratic leadership
 Bureaucratic leadership
 Situational leadership
 Participative leadership
 Charismatic leadership
 Autocratic leadership

However, there are other type of leadership such as:

 Visionary leadership
 Directing Leadership
 Servant leadership
 Coaching leadership
 Pacesetter leadership
 Strategic leadership

Here I will discuss two leaderships along with their advantages and disadvantages.

Laissez-faire leadership known as Delegative leadership. This leadership barely leads and
delegate initiative to team members. We can consider this leadership as a real hands-off
approach.

Advantages:

 Maximize the team member leadership skills
 Experienced employees can take advantage of their competence and shine.
 Encourage innovation and creativity.
 Create a positive work environment.
 Make more individual work satisfaction


Disadvantages:

 Downplays the leader role
 Difficulty in change adoption
 Create opportunities for employee litigation
 Reduce the definition of command and responsibility
