History:
By the late 1940s, most of the leadership research had shifted from the trait theory
Paradigm
Definition:
The Behavioral theory is based on traits, attitude expectations, and the manager’s
treatment (behavior) of employees, which in turn determines the followers’ behavior
and performance.
During this paradigm, we are focusing on what the leader actually did on the job
(behavior), the leadership style, nature of management etc.

University of Iowa Leadership Styles
Kurt Lewin and associates conducted studies at
the University of Iowa that concentrated on the
leadership style of the manager.
Their studies identified the below basic

leadership styles:
• Autocratic leadership style.
• Democratic leadership style.
Autocratic
leadership style
Autocratic leadership is a form of management where
“authority” is in the hands of one person alone. This person
can be the leader, manager, or business owner, who typically
has complete control over a project, work area, or whole
business and makes decisions with little to no input from
group members.
That is, autocratic leaders tend to make choices based on their

judgment and ideas alone, implementing absolute
authoritarian control over their group or organization.
Democratic
leadership style
Democratic leadership, also known as participative leadership or shared leadership, is a
type of leadership style in which members of the group take a more participative role in
the decision-making process.
Famous Examples:
 George Washington
 Mayo Clinic
 Google
 Abraham Lincoln
 Amazon.com
 Ginni Rometty
Laissez-Fair
Leaders
Laissez-fair leaders: Laissez-fair leaders offered little or
no guidance to group members and left decision-
making up to group members. .
Example of LFS
Warren Edward Buffett
CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.
Investment of US$82 billion as of July 18, 2019,
making him the third-wealthiest person in the
world
The Observations and Results of the Study:
Nineteen out of twenty boys like the democratic leadership
style.. The only boy who liked the authoritarian style of
leadership happened to be the son of an army officer.
It was also observed that seven out of ten boys preferred the
laissez-faire leader to the autocratic
Authoritarian Leadership:
The student who where under Autocratic style were very
directive, friendly and concern about the task.
They were the most knowledgeable people.
The Observations and Results of the Study:
Laissez-fair leadership:
more demands on them, showed little cooperation, and the group
members were unable to work dependently and not following the exact
rules
This can be effective in situations where group members are highly
qualified in an area of expertise.
Democratic Leadership: The results of these studies found under

democratic leadership
The student were always sharing, respect other opinions they knew the
strength and weakness of people
Conclusion from Iowa Leadership Studies:

styles of leadership can produce different
complex reactions from the same or similar
groups.
