They are very persuasive and make very effective use of body language as well as verbal language.

2) Self-protective Style Involves following procedure. Emphasizing

status differences, being self-centered, and saving face.

It is associated statistically with five primary leadership dimensions: “self-centered,” “status conscious,” “conflict-inducer,” “face-saver,” and “procedural.”

Added is the fact that, in some societies, leaders may need to protect themselves from acts of criticism and corruption.

3) Humane Style Involves being modest and helping

others. This dimension “reflects supportive and

considerate leadership, but also includes compassion and generosity.”

and being diplomatic demonstrates the effective working

5) Participative Style Involves getting the opinions and help of

others. Non-autocratic and participated suggests the degree to which mangers

involve others in making and implementing decisions in an organization.

6) Autonomous Style Involves being independent and

individualistic and making one’s own decisions.

Being able to function alone without management intervention. Being autonomous can be good for a team, but can also lead to many problems if not carefully handled.
