Leadership Styles

The video explores three leadership styles: autocratic, democratic, and laissez faire. It discusses the historical context of leadership research, particularly the work of Lewin, Lippitt, and White. Autocratic leadership is characterized by centralized control and decision-making, often leading to aggression among followers. Democratic leadership involves collaboration and feedback, resulting in higher satisfaction and productivity. Laissez faire leadership offers autonomy but can lead to low productivity if not managed well. Each style has its strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness depends on the context.
