Leadership style
Kurt Lewin identified three types of Leadership Styles in 1939 i.e. – Autocratic – do it my way, Democratic – let’s do it together and Laissez-fair- do it your way. According to the leadership style I follow Democratic leadership style. A democratic leader is prepared to empower the workers with delegating authority and encouraging participation. A democratic leader will rely on expert and referent power to influence the workers and the workers perform well even the leader is not there to supervise. As I follow democratic leadership style I delegate and encourage the participation in the works. I share the decision-making abilities with group members by promoting the interests of the group members and by practicing social equality. I always ask for suggestions and give advice to my workers. I can assure that following this style has made our work together interesting and productive.
And in the case of change I follow transformational style of leadership. Transformational leadership is based on more than the compliance of followers. It involves shifts in the beliefs, needs and values. I direct the group through communication and try to focus on the whole idea and the vision. I motivate the subordinates to work more effectively and efficiently.
