“What are the six styles of leadership? None will shock workplace veterans.

Indeed, each style, by name and brief description alone, will likely resonate with anyone who leads, is led, or as is the case with most of us, does both.

Coercive leaders demand immediate compliance. Authoritative leaders mobilize people toward a vision. Affiliative leaders create emotional bonds and harmony. Democratic leaders build concensus through participation. Pacesetting leaders expect excellence and self-direction. And coaching leaders develop people for the future.”
