Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another. John C.

Maxwell

Leader
You must have an honest understanding of who you are, what you know, and what you can do. If they do not trust or lack confidence in their leader, then they will be uninspired.

Followers
Different people require different styles of leadership. The fundamental starting point is having a good understanding of human nature, such as needs, emotions, and motivation.

Communication

What and how you communicate either builds or harms the relationship between you and your employees.

Situation
All situations are different. What you do in one situation will not always work in another. You must use your judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style needed for each situation.

Leadership Styles
Participative Leadership
This kind of leadership is usually seen in corporate settings. Leaders act more like facilitators rather than dictators.
They facilitate the ideas and the sharing of information with the end goal of arriving at a decision.

EXAMPLE : DONALD TRUMP

Transactional Leadership
The leader motivates his subordinates by presenting them rewards and punishments. All requirements for a subordinate are clearly stated with corresponding rewards. If they fail to satisfy those requirements, they will receive a corresponding punishment.

EXAMPLE: Charles de Gaulle.

Transformational Leadership
Transformational leaders lead by motivating by their followers. Leaders appeal to their followers' ideals and morals to motivate them in accomplishing their tasks.

EXAMPLE: Walt Disney

Servant Leadership
In servant leadership, the leader takes care of the needs of his followers first before they take care of their own. Instead of acting like a king to their subordinates, leaders act as servants. The leader feels that they need to serve their followers rather than force upon them what they want. Famous examples of servant leaders include George Washington, Gandhi
