Laissez-Faire:
An example of a laissez-faire leader is Steve Jobs the co- founder and CEO of
apple. Steve Jobs along with many CEO’s are all examples of laissez-faire leaders.
He is a leader that is highly motivational and poses very creative ideas. He is a
leader that is important for business and is able to make important decisions that
will affect the company as a whole when needed. He is a leader in which all
leadership roles are shared amongst the employees, without the cooperation of
each and every one of the employees it is very hard for him to succeed.
Democratic
An example of a democratic leader is Barack Obama. Barack Obama along with
representatives of countries around the world is categorized under the democratic
leader type. He encourages decision making from different directions to meet the
expectations of his citizens with different perspective and personalities. He is a
very motivational and inspirational leader. He relies on his party to help him
succeed and meet the expectations that his citizens have.
Autocratic:
An example of a autocratic leader is Mark Zuckerberg. As the inventor and
co founder of Facebook he needs to be an autocratic leader because he needs to
make his own decisions and be able to figure out what is best for the company
without the help, guidance and persuasions of others. He is required to make
important decisions quickly as the decisions may affect or influence the success of
the company greatly. He is someone that employees and users depend on to make
the right and best choice for the company and network. Yet he can be the exact
opposite and not important to others. Therefore he is a strong and independent
leader that makes decisions without the reference of others.
