your style of leadership.

this
Leader type
Democratic
Autocratic
Laissez-faire
What does this style mean?
Examples of when they’re useful

when coaching children
as it is easier for the
leader to maintain
control of the session.
Participants not encouraged
to make decisions for
themselves

about an upcoming set-play, as the pressure is off
the team and there is a low risk of losing.
Autocratic
The leader will tend to make all the
decisions and not seek the
opinions of other players.
If a decision needs to be made which could
potentially put people’s lives at risk, an autocratic
leader will be relied on to make a good decision
based on their level of knowledge and experience.
Laissez-faire
The leader will usually step aside
and allow team or group members
to make their own decisions.
This style would be used by the leader of an
Olympic team. The leadership role here would be
more of a motivator and they will trust that
everyone will be motivated to perform in their own
activities.
EXTENDED WRITING

WHAT TYPE OF LEADER ARE YOU?
• Looking at the leadership styles we have covered decide what type of leader
you are.
• Write a paragraph explaining your answer including examples.
APPLIED TO SPORT…
What type of Leader are you?
I am an Autocratic leader. This is because when I coach athletics, especially
events such as the Javelin there is a large amount of health and safety
involved so pupils must act in the right way. I find that being autocratic this
makes my session safer and I they will throw the javelin when I ask them to
and I can give each person my advice to improve them if they listen to me…
