There are myriad numbers and types of leadership styles in organizations today that are required for diverse situations. Comprehending the types of leadership styles is an essential first step in leadership development, which will help one to decide the leadership style that would work best for oneself and the organisation. Basically there are three classic leadership styles ?Laissez Faire style in which one has highly skilled and highly motivated people and direct reporting is done. Secondly the Autocratic Style in which the leader is one who demands instant conformity to his words. Lastly, the participative style which provides a contented stage between micromanaging and disengaging and more likely to be seen in organizations that innovate to prosper.
