Leadership styles
There are four leadership styles that are determined by the balance between directive behavior, which involves clearly telling people what to do, and supportive behavior, which involves listening to people and involving them in problem solving. The four styles are telling (high directive, low supportive), persuading (high directive, high supportive), encouraging (low directive, high supportive), and releasing (low directive, low supportive). The most effective leadership style depends on the situation and needs of the individuals and organization.
