What are the different leadership styles?

Leadership styles can be defined as the different approaches to leading a team or organization. There are many different leadership styles including autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, transformational, servant, and transactional. An autocratic leader is one who makes decisions without consulting others, while a democratic leader seeks input from team members before making a decision. A laissez-faire leader is hands-off and allows their team to make decisions independently, whereas a transformational leader inspires their team towards a common goal. A servant leader focuses on meeting the needs of their team, and a transactional leader rewards or punishes their team based on their performance. Each style has its strengths and weaknesses, and the most effective leaders are able to adapt their style to fit the needs of their team and the situation at hand.
