It’s a good leadership if you already have all the information to solve a problem, or if you are under a pressure and is on a tight deadline.

Vision, Power, Influence & Change: 4 Dynamic Elements in Effective Leadership! James Page MGT 380: Leadership in Organizations (BFJ1106A) Instructor: Stacey Taylor March 3, 2011 Vision, power, influence and change are the essential elements forged together in the development of a powerful team within an organization. Having personally been involved with several functional and dysfunctional teams, I have learned the importance of establishing diversity, communication, providing a vision, and maximizing individual talents leading to group cohesion, positive morale, and sense of both individual and team accomplishment. Throughout history, many great teams started with adversity and challenging circumstances which eventually led to their overall strength and unity reaching unsurpassed milestones.

Managing Time- A leader should be able to identify and differentiate between urgent and important issues. Sometimes a task maybe important but not urgent, while other times it can be urgent but not important. A leader is responsible to manage the flow of day to day operations and meet deadlines.

Authoritarian leadership can be useful and beneficial within some of the public services. When decisions need to be made quickly and without ideas or comments being made from other team members. A strong independent person would need to take on the lead of being in charge and being the leader, because this style is used in situations when things need to be done quickly the leader must know what they are doing and have a good solid idea and what they want doing and how they want it done by other members in their team. In different, stressful task, for example, during military conflicts, members of the group may prefer to have a team leader who makes all the important decisions and they may also prefer to have someone telling them what needs to be done and how they need to do it, therefore they will not have
