In the 1970s Robert Greenleaf created this term to describe leaders who influence and motivate others by building relationships and developing the skills of individual team members. A Servant Leader makes sure the needs of the individual team members are addressed. In this style of management the entire team has input into decision making based on the organizations values and ideals. Servant leaders create devoted followers in response to positive attention they give. Characteristic skills of a servant leader include:ListeningAcceptanceAwarenessPersuasionForesightCommitment to the growth of othersBuilding community within the organizationA very similar style Transformational Leadership is also based on building relationships and motivating staff members through a shared vision and mission. Transformational leaders typically have charisma to communicate vision confidence to act in a way that inspires others staff respect and loyalty from letting the team know they are important and are masters at helping people do things they werent sure they could do by giving encouragement and praise. A similar style is the Democratic Leader who encourages open communication and staff participation in decisions. Workers are given responsibility accountability and feedback regarding their performance. Relationships are important to this leader who places a focus on quality improvement of systems and processes rather than on mistakes of individual team members.The Authoritarian or Autocratic Leadership style is demonstrated when a leader makes all decisions without considering input from staff. Negative reinforcement and punishment are often used to enforce rules. Because knowledge is seen as power critical information may be withheld from the team. Mistakes are not tolerated and blame is placed on individuals rather than on faulty processes. The positive side of this style is that it works perfectly in emergencies or chaotic situations where there is little time for discussion. It is useful when enforcing policies and procedures that protect resident health and safety but it does not promote trust communication or teamwork when used for day-to-day operations. Authoritarian leaders are often micromanagers. Conversely Laissez-faire Leadership is a style in which the leader provides little or no direction or supervision and prefers to take a hands-off approach.Community/Public Health Nursing. By Mary A.
