Leadership Styles
Leadership Styles
A leader’s style is the pattern she produces across many actions. This chapter sets out the working vocabulary of named leadership styles, from the classical three of Lewin to the visionary leadership that points towards transformational thinking. Each style has its uses, its risks, and its proper situations.
The working definition, what styles include, and the four factors that shape a leader’s style over time
Autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire: Lewin’s three from 1939, with where each one fits and where each one fails
The father-figure leader and the reward-and-punishment leader; common, useful, and risky if used as the only style
Three styles distinguished by what the leader pays attention to: the work, the team, or the team’s needs
Four more named styles, from rigorous rule-following to vision-casting; charismatic and visionary point toward the next chapter
