One of the topics I found interesting was from the Group Communication. I find the different kinds of leadership very interesting. The first type of leadership is an authoritarian leadership. An authoritarian leadership the leader usually makes all the decisions without the help of any of the other group members. The leader then addresses the decision to the group. Even though other group members might not be happy with the decision, decisions are made quicker. In a consultative leadership, other group members ideas and opinions are taken to consideration in order for the decision to be made. The final decision though is made by the leader. One of its drawbacks is it makes the leader look like other people are participating even though they're not. The next type of leadership is participative leadership in which a leader works with other group members to make a decision. Everyone in the group is involved and the members work together to finish they're goal. Decisions take longer to make because of everyone's input to the work. The last type of leadership is laissez-faire in which there is barely or no direct leadership. The group just works together in order to complete a task. The leader usually doesn't have a lot of input and barely leads the group. This leadership is usually the least effective style of leadership.
The type of leadership I saw in school the most was the participative leadership. The leader would always worked with the group and keep everyone in check.
