themselves and others around them. They have a great deal of

drive to achieve targets and expect the same type of drive

from those around them. Unless workers are just as driven as

the leader, this style can also have a detrimental effect in the

long term.

A good leader uses all three styles, depending on what forces are involved between the followers, the leader, and the situation. Some examples include:

Situation Forces that influence the style to be used included:

How much time is available.

Are relationships based on respect and trust or on disrespect?

Who has the information — you, your employees, or both?

How well your employees are trained and how well you know the

task.

Internal conflicts.

Stress levels.

Type of task. Is it structured, unstructured, complicated, or simple?

Laws or established procedures such as OSHA or training plans.

Using an authoritarian/coaching style on a new employee

who is just learning the job. The leader is competent and a

good coach. The employee is motivated to learn a new

skill. The situation is a new environment for the employee.

Using a participative/democratic style with a team of

workers who know their job. The leader knows the problem,

but does not have all the information. The employees know

their jobs and want to become part of the team.

Using a delegative style with a worker who knows more

about the job than you. You cannot do everything and the

employee needs to take ownership of her job! In addition,

this allows you to be at other places, doing other things.

Using all three: Telling your employees that a procedure is

not working correctly and a new one must be established

(authoritarian). Asking for their ideas and input on creating

a new procedure (participative). Delegating tasks in order

to implement the new procedure (delegative).
