Participative Leadership

I believe that participative leadership is the most effective way of leading a group. This way of leadership is also known as "democratic leadership." Though it is the not most effective way in leading a group, experiments have shown that this type of leading creates much higher quality contributions from the group. These type of leaders participate in group activity and work offering guidance to group members. They also allow constructive input from their workforce. Participative leaders make group members feel more engaged in the process and are more motivated and creative. In the long run, for most corporations or anywhere to children having group work, quality is much more substantial then quantity. To have group work run smoothly in harmonious relations is what most companies strive to accomplish. Some huge companies who are what they are today such as Texas Instruments, AT&T, General Foods, and Procter & Gamble all come from participative leadership. Innovative approaches and employee relations are the bases for these companies and type of leadership.
