Week 2 Post 3: Chapter 3 Concept

One of the concept that I was interested in was the reading about the different types of leadership. There were four different types of leadership that were discussed in the book. The four different types of leadership are authoritarian, consultative, participative, and laissez-faire. An authoritarian leadership is when the leader of a group makes a decision without consulting with the rest of the group. A consultative leadership is when the leader actually listens to what the group had to say before making the final decision. A participative leadership is when the leader shares their decision making with the whole group. The goal is achieved with everyone's thoughts in mind as a whole. In this leadership, everyone participate and is considered to be a leader. The last leadership the book discussed about was the laissez-faire leadership. In this leadership everyone agrees and just go with the flow.  Leadership plays an important role in everyday life. It is a key essential to survive in this society.
