Participative leadership, also known as democratic leadership, is a type of leadership style in which members of the group take a more participative role in the decision-making process.
37

41

2)Members of the group feel more engaged in the process.

3)Creativity is encouraged and rewarded.

43

DELEGATION!
44

Delegative is another leadership style in addition to the authoritarian leadership and the participative.
45

This leadership style is where employees or team members are allowed to make decisions.

46

However, the leader is still accountable for the decisions that are made and used only when employees are able to analyze a particular situation and know what needs to be done and how to do it
47

As a leader you cant do everything and this is the reason why you have to set priorities and delegate certain tasks. This is a style to use when you truly trust and have confidence in the people under your leadership. Use it wisely.

With this style, measurable goals are set up by agreement between leadership and participants, responsibility is assigned to each individual, matching authority is delegated to carry out tasks, and deadlines for review and assessment are set. Then this process is repeated for the next objective and time-frame.
