- Autocratic – the leader makes the decisions, the group is expected to follow
- Laissez-faire – allows the group unconstrained freedom
- Anarchic – no leadership is shown. Individuals and groups do what they want
- Consensus – Members of the group attempt to find a mutually agreeable solution.
- Situational – adapts leadership style to the situation
