Several business scholars suggest that there are 3 main styles of leadership."Democratic," "Autocratic," and "Laissez-faire."
Determine which kind of leader you are. Given the following:"What would you do if one of your employees is more than 15 mins late to work?"
(Would you...)
A. Speak to the employee's manager and balance his/her assessment against your own judgement before approaching the employee?
B. Immediately approach the employee regarding his/her tardiness?
C. Not say anything, even after the second time the employee has been late?
If you answered "A" you most likely have a "Democratic"(checks and balances) style of leadership.
If you answered "B" you most likely lead in an "Autocratic" (supreme, unrestrained) fashion.
If you answered "C" you most likely possess a "Laissez-faire" (let it be) style of leadership.
