Welcome Back…
We are going to talk the second style of Leadership that is commonly called Participative (democratic) Leadership Style.
In this style, the leaders generally say ‘Let’s work together to solve this. . .’ in which it means that the leaders involve or the leaders include one or more employees in the decision making process (to determine what to do and how to do it). Nevertheless, the leaders are still supposed to maintain the authority of final decision making. Using this style is actually not a sign of weaknesses; it is rather as a sign of strength that will influence to your employees to respect you more.
The style is normally used when you don’t have complete parts of the information, and your employees have other parts. In this case, the leaders and the employees are to gather the whole information as complete. It is needed to be noted that a leader is not required to know everything — this is why the leaders employ skillful and knowledgeable employees. Using this style is as a matter of fact rather to mutual benefit — it allows every segment to become part of the team and allows the leaders to make better conclusion which will end up in the best decision to make.
