Captions available
The idea
Leadership styles range from authoritarian, issuing decisions, through democratic, deciding by participation, to laissez-faire, leaving members to organize themselves.
In practice
Under time pressure a group may accept direction it would resent in ordinary conditions.
Where people slip
No style is best in general; the fit depends on the task and the group.
