Leadership Style In Health Care

Leadership Style After taking a test to determine my style of leadership, the test stated I was a democratic leader. Democratic leaders focus on involving all members of the group, they also encourage and motivate group members to solve problems. A democratic style involves informing and agreeing upon a common objective and individual roles in completing the task.
