6. Leadership Styles Directive leadership involves letting employees know precisely what is expected of them, giving them specific guidelines for performing tasks, scheduling work, setting standards of performance, and making sure that people follow standard rules and regulations. Supportive leadership involves being friendly and approachable to employees, showing concern for them and their welfare, and creating a friendly climate. Supportive leadership is very similar to considerate leader behavior. Supportive leadership often results in employee job satisfaction and satisfaction with leaders. This leadership style may also result in improved performance when it increases employee confidence, lowers employee job stress, or improves relations and trust.

7. Leadership Styles Participative leadership involves consulting employees for their suggestions and input before making decisions. Participation in decision making should help followers understand which goals are most important and clarify the paths to accomplishing them. Furthermore, when people participate in decisions, they become more committed to making them work. Achievement-oriented leadership means setting challenging goals, having high expectations of employees, and displaying confidence that employees will assume responsibility and put forth extraordinary effort.
