Question

1. Of the three styles of leadership (authoritarian, democratic and laissez-faire) put forward

in Chapter 4 of Introduction to Leadership, what style best describes your leadership

style and why? How does this relate to your view of human nature? Specifically mention

Theory X and Y in your explanation. Your paper should then explain, secondly, in what

organization you developed this style and how people react to you when you use this

style of leadership. Finally, you should go on to explain how you could grow as a leader

by examining and challenging some of your assumptions about human nature. [The only
