Various important to leaders -as Ghosn- known worldwide; are characterized by different leaderships style. The most frequently observed leadership styles are represented by autocratic or authoritarian, participative or democratic, laissez-faire, narcissistic, and toxic leadership. The autocratic leadership style assumes that the leader makes all decisions (Leadership Expert, 2010). In other words, the decision-making process is a centralized by one person. Leaders with this style do not have close relationships with their subordinates. In Mr. Ghosn case, he has the opposite approach; he encourages his initiative, and he is interested in discussing their assistant’s ideas (Hellriegel, Slocum, & Jackson, 2008). Moreover, there are several advantages associated with his leadership style, as it provides great motivation for Ghosn to maximize the using of mental human resources for his subordinates that he has in the both companies. These advantages rely on the fact that Ghosn in this case can make effective decisions by discuss many ideas with other stakeholders. The participative leadership style here is quite the opposite of the autocratic style. Consultation and participation of the group is very important for democratic leaders such as Mr. Ghosn focus on cooperation of his subordinates.
