流利说商务英语 Level 6 Unit 2 Part 4（一）Leadership Styles

A person's leadership style shows how they use power to lead other people.
Since certain leadership styles will be more successful in certain situations, there is
not a perfect style that fits into every business.
A leader is often required to adapt their leadership style according to different
situations.

authoritative 有权威的；命令式的；当局的
Authoritative leaders take full control of all activities and decisions on a team.
They set clear directions for how work should be done and provide frequent and
detailed feedback.
An authoritative leadership style is effective when control is necessary, such as when
there is little room for error.
But if a leader is working with a very experienced team, this leadership style can seem
egotistical.

democratic 民主的；民主政治的；大众的
Democratic leaders encourage their team to participate in the decision-making
processes.
They are open to ideas from team members, which helps to motivate the team.
This leadership style is effective when a team needs to come up with creative
solutions to problems.
However, it may not work well in emergencies or when team members are not
competent enough to contribute.
When a team isn't experienced enough to contribute, it's better to avoid being too
democratic.
To succeed as an authoritative leader, one needs to be visionary and able to resolve
conflicts quickly.
Most people prefer to work with a democratic leader who encourages teamwork and
cooperation.
A leader is often required to adapt their leadership style according to situation.
Authoritative leaders like to set clear directions for how work should be done.
Democratic leaders are open-minded to ideas from team members.

pacesetting 定速度的；带头的
Pacesetting leaders set high performance standards for themselves and their staff.
They pursue high work efficiency and are willing to replace whoever doesn't meet
their standards.
A pacesetting style can be effective when a team is already motivated and skilled and
when a leader needs quick results.
However, if the standards set by a leader are too high, employees could easily feel
stressed and demoralized.
