Quiz Outcomes

• 1.
  Autocratic leadership 

  Autocratic leaders have significant control over staff and rarely consider worker suggestions or share power. “Ruling with an iron fist is rarely appreciated by staff, which can lead to high turnover and absenteeism.” There can also be a lack of creativity due to strategic direction coming from a single individual. This leadership style is best suited to environments where jobs are fairly routine or require limited skills. It is also common in military organizations.
• 2.
  Charismatic leadership

  You rely heavily on the positive charm and personality of the leader in question.Bur, charismatic leadership can be less favourable, largely because the success of projects and initiatives is closely linked to the presence of the leader.While transformational leaders build confidence in a team that remains when they move on, the removal of a charismatic leader typically leaves a power vacuum.
• 3.
  Democratic leadership

  Also known as participative leadership, this style – as the name suggests – means leaders often ask for input from team members before making a final decision.“Workers usually report higher levels of job satisfaction in these environments and the company can benefit from better creativity.”On the downside, the democratic process is normally slower and may not function well in workplaces where quick decision-making is crucial.
• 4.
  Laissez-faire leadership

  More commonly used to describe economic environments, laissez-faire literally means “let them do” in French. This is typically translated to “let it be”. As such: Laissez-faire leaders are characterized by their hands-off approach, allowing employees to get on with tasks as they see fit. This can be effective in creative jobs or workplaces where employees are very experienced. However, it is important that leaders monitor performance and effectively communicate expectations to prevent work standards slipping.
