Introduction
Leadership styles hold a direct impact on the growth of organisations. Therefore it helps
leaders to motivate and train their employees through developing a strong communication
within the workplace. As employees are the backbone of any kind of organisation so leaders
helps them to guide and provide a clear vision of their work culture. However, the leadership
style could be stated as a process through which leaders deliver guidance towards their team
regarding the job role and also embraces the effective way to achieve the target easily
(Gooding, et al., 2018). There are ranges of leadership style exhibited and each style
contains their won value. Similarly, different organizations hold different kind of leadership
styles. To deliver a clear view of the leadership styles and its benefits the example of Tesco
has been taken in this report. Therefore the report also stated the seven effective leadership
approaches maintain any of them organisation could easily faces changes. To understand the
leadership style better vMEME has also added. The seven leadership styles that has included
in this report are Democratic Leadership Style, Autocratic Leadership Style, Laissez-Faire
Leadership Style, Strategic Leadership Style, Transformational Leadership Style,
Transactional Leadership Style, and Bureaucratic Leadership Style. On the other hand, to
identify the value of the leadership style the report has also added STAR functions through
which the relevant questions and answers have been highlighted.
Leadership Styles
Democratic Leadership Style: This could be defined as one of the most effective leadership
styles. Though the final decision is established by the end of the leaders but the lower level
employees are allowed to deploy their thoughts (Amanchukwu, et al., , 2015.). Through this
leadership style the team leaders could be able build an effective communication within the
workplace. Most of the successful organisations are following this leadership style.
Autocratic Leadership Style: This kind of leadership style is entirely opposite to the
Democratic leadership style. Here employees are not allowed to deliver or embraces their
thoughts (De Hoogh, et al., 2015). The leaders will be responsible for everything and
employees are bound to follow the guidance of the leaders.

Laissez-Faire Leadership Style: It totally limited the effectiveness of the leaders by
providing freedom to the employees to take their own decision. Here leaders generally do not
provide any guidance or suggestion towards their employees (Zareen, et al., 2015). Hence
sometime employees face troubles. This kind of leadership style is especially suitable for the
firm that holds maximum numbers of experienced employees.
Strategic Leadership Style: This leadership style allows leaders to focus on a portion of the
organisations. Therefore it also states that leaders will be responsible for managing the lower
level employees. Similarly the main role of the strategic leaders relied on creating specific
job target for the employees (Cunningham, et al., 2015). On the other hand, planning for the
future steps is also falls under the role of the strategic leaders.
Transformational Leadership Style: Transformational leaders always guide their
employees to complete their monthly or weekly target. Therefore it also pushes employees to
understand the current change of the organisation (Choi, et al., 2017). Therefore depending
in the present and future requirement the leads motivates their employees. This kind of
leadership is appropriate for the creative firms or growth-minded organizations as these kinds
of firms entirely relied on the capability of their workers.
Transactional Leadership Style: Transactional leadership style leads the concerned
authority to follow certain reward and promotions so that they could easily motivate their
employees to perform better (Ohunakin, et al., ., 2016.). Therefore it also includes to
punishments towards the employees for not achieving the target or violating the
organization’s rules.
Bureaucratic Leadership Style: This kind of leadership style especially follows the old
tradition of leadership theory or methods. In other words, it could be stated that Bureaucratic
leaders maintains the existed leadership trend of the company and describes the work and
duty in accordance with the company rule and regulation (van der Voet, 2016). In some parts
the Bureaucratic leadership style is different from Autocratic leadership style but here also
employees are not entirely free to take their decision.
Tesco has managed their internal workforce through democratic leadership style. As the
company holds a grate image across the global market and it has been believed by Tesco their
employees play a pivotal role in building the goodwill of Tesco. Hence the voice of their
employee should be acknowledged and through the democratic leadership style these
