There are four types of leaderships, but the most successful one, in
my eyes, is the participative leadership. Members in this group will work
together with the group leader on making decisions and reaching their goal. The
group leader does not dictate what the group members are to do, but guide and
give a bit of a direction for the members to go off of. This type of group
usually takes more time to complete their goal, but they will ultimately
produce a higher quality of work. In the end, quality over quantity is always
best. Group members work harmoniously together knowing the group leader and
themselves are pulling equal weights in this project. They have shared
responsibilities and the work atmosphere is more positive. Ultimately, if
people feel they are all on the same page, there will be no tension, and the
work process will run smoothly without delays.
Yes I agree with you that this is the best type of leadership even though it takes the longest time. I'd rather finish a project slow with a great result rather than finishing a project fast with a mediocre result. Like you said, "quality over quantity is the best." It's also good that the leader of the group isn't just telling the other people in the group what to do, but he/she is also trying to help the group by participating. Everyone is carrying their own weight knowing that each of them has a specific task that they need to be able to finish.
