leadership style The traits, behavioural tendencies, and characteristic methods of a person in a leadership position. An important dimension of leadership style is the extent to which the leader is willing to delegate responsibility and encourage input from followers; some key styles here are those of the
authoritarian leader,
democratic leader, and
laissez-faire leader. Another basic dimension is the extent to which a leader is
task-motivated (concerned with defining goals and the means to achieve them) or
relationship-motivated (concerned with supporting and encouraging subordinates). A distinction can also be drawn between the
charismatic leader, who relies on his or her personal qualities to inspire followers, and the
bureaucratic leader, who depends on his or her position in the hierarchy and an established set of rules and procedures. See
transactional leadership;
transformational leadership. See also
power styles.
