Inspirational Motivation:
Leader’s behaviour motivates and inspires followers, team spirit is aroused, enthusiasm and optimism is displayed and both leaders and followers create positive visions of the future.
Intellectual Stimulation:
Leaders stimulate and encourage innovation, creativity, and questioning of old assumptions. New ideas are welcomed and there should be no fear of mistakes or going against the grain.
Individualised Consideration:
Special attention is paid to each individual’s needs and differences. Effective listening, developing potential and personalised interaction are all components of this leadership style.
Transactional Leadership

Management-by-exception (active):

Management-by-exception (passive):
Leader passively waits until problem or mistake arises then reacts.
Laissez-faire:
