1. Consultative style: The leader introduces the problem to single employees or a group of employees, inviting for their opinions and recommendations before finally making the decision himself. Employees have a chance to express their views in the process, but the ultimate power still remains with the leader.

2. Autocratic style- The leader alone makes this decision without enquiring the thoughts or ideas of the employees in the team, Employees may specify information of the leader needs but are not questioned to produce or assess potential solutions

3.Facilitative style: In this style` leader discloses the problem to a unit of employees and seeks settlement for the problem in this the decision he takes has no more influence than anyone else's in this scenario a leader is more an implementer than concluder.

4. Deliberation style: The leader gives an employee or a group of employees the duty of constructing the decision within some set of conditions. The leader plays no role in this style unless requested, though he may offer inspiration or help and provide needed resources behind.
