The eight management styles often used in effective leadership include autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, transformational, transactional, coaching, visionary, and servant leadership. Each style reflects a unique approach to decision-making, team engagement, and motivation. Coaching emphasizes professional growth, visionary leaders focus on the future, and servant leaders prioritize team members’ needs. The best managers understand how to apply and adapt these styles based on the situation, team dynamics, and business challenges.
