Employees are often forced to obey the executive's demands, which limits creativity and initiative. An authoritarian style can be effective in some cases when it is necessary to make a quick decision. However, in the long run, this style can reduce employee participation and reduce the overall effectiveness of the team. As a result of employees feeling worthless, their interest in work decreases. Democratic leadership style. The Democratic leadership style is based on interactions between the leader and the staff. In this style, the leader takes into account the opinions of team members in the decision-making process and allows them to express their opinions. The democratic style increases employee motivation as they have the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas. This, in turn, changes the attitude towards work in a positive way [2]. Employees feel like they are part of the team, and this increases their interest in work. The Democratic leadership style increases the overall effectiveness of the team as employees become more involved and show creativity when they share their opinions. By taking into account the opinions of team members, leaders can make better decisions. Laissez-faire leadership style. The laissez-faire leadership style means that the leader gives the staff a great deal of freedom. In this style, executives often give employees freedom to define how they do their work, but they exist to help when necessary. The Laissez-faire style allows employees to show their creativity, which can increase their motivation. However, this situation can lead to uncertainty and chaos if the leader does not provide adequate guidance to the staff.
