  10. Charisma • This type of leader is able to bring others together and motivate them, usually for a cause. • This leader’s power is derived from emotion. • Many successful activities earned the spotlight because of their charisma.

  11. Leadership Styles Regardless of how someone obtained their leadership, each leader demonstrates characteristics of a leadership style. What’s your style? Take the survey!

  12. Leadership Styles Survey • All leadership styles are good – one is not more important or better than another. • It is important to understand leadership styles in order to be able to work with all personality types effectively. • In your group, come up with 3 attributes of your group’s leadership style and a famous person who might share the same style.

  13. Autocratic • Characterized by giving clear and precise directions as to what is to be done. • Considered “classic” leadership. • Managers retain as much power and decision-making as possible.

  17. Open • Also known as Laissez-Faire leadership • Characterized by giving little or no direction to the employees • Employees are trusted to make decisions and resolve problems on their own.

  18. Using Open Leadership Most Effective When . . .
