Mauro Libi: Types of leadership: what are the main ones?

     It is important to understand that the style or type of leadership exercised by supervisors or senior positions in the company will always have consequences with us as workers, even if we do not realize or confuse these effects with the personality of every person. To be clear about this is very important, since leaders are agents who, by their decision-making power, are in a privileged position in influencing others, for better or for worse.

     The leader is the support of the team, which motivates people to develop their ideas, skills and creativity. In addition, it encourages teamwork, responsibility and personal development, especially, is who makes their employees feel identified with the company. A positive leadership type can improve the performance of our employees, their well-being or increase the benefits of the company. On the contrary, a negative or harmful style can create stress or burnout in subordinates, lower their self-esteem or cause losses for the company.

     Many researchers have paid attention to this phenomenon and there are many theories that talk about it. Here are the most common types of leadership that exist:

Leadership laissez-faire: In this style, the leader intervenes only if it is necessary, usually has greater experience and motivation, because being experts have many skills to solve situations and is capable of having excellent performance, is also used in the case of board of directors where the managing director gives enough liberties to its director of department.

Autocratic leadership: It is used a lot with supervisors who make the decisions and simply give the guidelines that are obeyed automatically. It is very effective in environments where decisions are made quickly because the dynamics demand it.

Democratic leadership: It is usually characterized by promoting the participation of all team members, everyone gives their opinion, and the leader takes that opinion into account and makes the final decision.

Transactional leadership: Is implemented through transactions, rather than in exchange processes between the leader and followers who often receive rewards for their performance.

Transformational Leadership: It is when the leader uses high levels of communication and influence, which he tries to achieve the objectives, transmitting the values, the mission and the vision of the organization to reach the alignment of the employees with that philosophy.

     It is important to mention that all leadership depends on a corporate culture. It can be said that it is a corporate education that starts in high positions and descends by all the departments and their employees.
