The characteristics of people who become leaders
When there is a hierarchical situation then the Autocratic Leadership style emerges. When people are responsible and have more freedom then a democratic type emerges. When people have complete freedom then Laissez-Faire emergers.
It highly depends on how an organization wants to work and what ethos it follows. It also depends on Nature or the field organization is working in. Government or corporate work has a more authoritative leadership whereas the social work department will have a more democratic type of leadership.
