Some mistakes are just too much fun to only
make once.

Power Styles

• Autocratic
• This style is used when the leader tells the
  officers what needs to be done and how to do it,
  without getting the advice of her followers.
• The autocratic style should normally only be used
  on rare occasions. If you have the time and want
  to gain more commitment and motivation from your
  officers, then you should use the democratic
  style.

Power Styles

• Democratic
• This type of style involves the leader including
  one or more officer in on the decision making
  process.
• the leader maintains the final decision making
  authority.

It may be that your sole purpose in life
is simply be kind to others.
5
Power Styles

• Free Reign
• In this style, the leader allows the officers to
  make the decision. However, the leader is still
  responsible for the decisions that are made. This
  is used when officers are able to analyze the
  situation and determine what needs to be done and
  how to do it. You cannot do everything! You must
  set priorities and delegate certain tasks
• Do not be afraid to use it, however, use it
  wisely!

6
Power Styles

• A good leader uses all three styles, depending on
  what forces are involved between the followers,
  the leader, and the situation. Some examples
  include
• Use an autocratic style on a new officer who is
  just learning the job. The leader is competent
  and a good coach. The new officer is motivated to
  learn a new skill. The situation is a new
  environment for the officer.
• Use a democratic style with a team who know their
  job. The leader knows the problem, but does not
  have all the information. The officers know their
  jobs and want to become part of the team.
• Use a free reign style with a team player who
  knows more about the job than you. You cannot do
  everything! The officer needs to take ownership
  of their job.

Birthdays are good for you. The more you have,
the longer you live.

Power Styles

• Using all three
• Telling your officers that a procedure is not
  working correctly and a new one must be
  established (autocratic).
• Asking for their ideas and input on creating a
  new procedure (democratic).
• Delegating tasks in order to implement the new
  procedure (free reign).

George S. Patton

• Dont tell people how to do things, tell them
  what to do and let them surprise you with their
  results.
