The document discusses various leadership styles including authoritative, coercive, democratic, affiliative, and coaching styles. It provides examples and analyses of each style, noting their effectiveness depends on the situation. An authoritative style can be controlling but effective in crises. A democratic style encourages participation but slow decision-making. An affiliative style builds relationships but lacks accountability. A coaching style develops others through apprenticeship. No single style is best; effective leaders adapt their approach to the environment.
