Leadership is a quality that involves taking on the role of a pathbreaker, decider, guide, and innovator. A leader is someone who shows the way to the other members of a group or organization. According to Kurt Lewis’ Leadership Styles Framework, there are three types of leadership styles, which are authoritarian or autocratic leadership, democratic or participative leadership, and delegating or ‘laissez faire’ leadership (Buchbinder et al, 2019). The style of leadership that the quiz identified for me was the authoritarian or autocratic leadership style. It was unexpected but not shocking to come upon such a result.
