Leadership is the action of leading people in an organization towards achieving goals. Leaders do this by influencing employee behaviors in several ways. A leader sets a’ clear vision for the organization, motivates employees, guides employees through the work process and builds morale. 

Styles of leadership: 

Autocratic Leadership : It is a leader-oriented style. Autocratic leaders make decisions without consulting their team members, even if their input would be useful. This can be appropriate when you need to make decisions quickly, when there’s no need for team input, and when team agreement isn’t necessary for a successful outcome. However, this style can be demoralizing, and it can lead to high levels of absenteeism and staff turnover. 

Democratic Leadership : It is participation-oriented leadership. Democratic leaders make the final decisions, but they include team members in the decision-making process. They encourage creativity, and people are often highly engaged in projects and decisions. As a result, team members tend to have high job satisfaction and high productivity’. This is not always an effective style to use, though, when you need to make a quick decision.
