In an organization, effective leaders are the ones who have
the capability to adopt different leadership styles according
to the situations and the needs of the organization. Thus,
there are various different leadership styles in order to deal
with the changes taking place in the organization.

AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
Autocratic Leadership: This leadership style is
mostly considered as aggressive. The autocratic leader
is the one who gives commands to the fellow
employees and expects them to be executed in a
proper manner. This kind of leadership does not much
creativity to take place.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
Democratic Leadership: The democratic leadership style is the
one which considers the opinions and inputs from the employees
while making organizational decisions. This is an effective kind of
leadership which is usually followed in Clink Hostels. This makes
the employees at the Clink Hostel feel valued and important to the
organizations (Pendleton & Furnham, 2012).

LAISSEZ-FAIRE LEADERSHIP
• This style of leadership which is known as Laissez-Faire
leadership is the leadership which is just the opposite
of autocratic which lacks in the discipline and the
proper structure.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
Transformational Leadership: The transformational leadership is the one
which is the most effective out of all the approaches and is generally based on
the efficient management and inspiring leaders who motivates the employees
to perform really well. In order to motivate the employees, the leaders at the
clink hostels uses their future visibility skills and their inspiring vision to
enhance the productivity of the organization (Pendleton & Furnham, 2012).

TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP

one in which the employees and leaders together set the goals
and works towards the achievement of goals by following the
instructions of the leaders. The leaders have the power of
rewarding or punishing the employees as per the results
