Leadership is the ability to organize a group of people in order to achieve a common goal. My leadership style is participative leadership and it is to share decision making with each member of my group. A Participative style of leadership encompasses consultative, consensus, and democratic. As a participative leader who is consultative, it is very important that I confer with members of the group before making final decisions on issues concerning the group. In addition, as a consensus leader, it is important to build consensus among the group in order to encourage group discussions concerning an issue and finally make decisions that fully reflect the agreement and support from the members of the group. Consensus leader ensures that all members of the group are involved to support a decision before it is considered final. Also, a participant leader is a democratic leader who ensures that final authority in decision making lies on the group. In this case, the group deliberate on issues and collect group opinion, and then cast votes in order to determine the final decision to make. DuBrin, A. (2010). Leadership.
The advantages of the Participative style of leadership are that it operates on bases of management openness, which allow leaders to accept suggestions from group members to manage the operations. The participative style also allow welcoming ideas from workers since the workers are closer to the market and know how the products are doing or used and are able to determine the immediate problems to be solved. Also, this leadership style enhances team work approach which helps to develop marketing strategy and retaining employees. The participant style of leadership is also well comfortable to people who want to get involved in decision making and to bring their findings back to management.
The disadvantages of the participative style of leadership are that too much time
