However, if I am the leader, I will most likely use the participative leadership type. People are attracted to the leader who listens very well to their problems as well as their feedback on issues. Followers' feedback is valued insight that could be utilized in the decision-making process. My peers or friends will be rather more responsive to the supportive leadership. It will be easier to discuss our problems and concerns together since we are almost in the same age group or share similar interests.
Friends often turn to each other when they have conflicts in their lives.
Listening here plays an important role, without which communication with followers will be ineffective. I believe that supportive leadership cannot be easily applied on a larger-scale conduct. Bosses do not have enough time to discuss personal concerns of their subordinates, while working on other job tasks and deadlines.
