Real leaders vary their use of different forms of participation. Some leaders, for example, use consensus decision making with only one or two trusted followers; others prefer large group meetings where all points of view are heard. Some leaders use delegation only after carefully specifying guidelines and limits to the decision option chosen and may require that the final decision be subjected to the leader’s approval before implementation. Other leaders give followers complete freedom in arriving at and implementing a solution. Most leaders use different combinations of participation at different times, adapting them to each situation and group of followers.
