There are three basic leadership styles, they consist of: authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire. Leaders who utilize the authoritarian style of leadership give orders, are involved in most if not all decisions, and expect absolute adherence to their directives. Conversely, leaders who favor the laissez-faire style of leadership allow subordinates almost absolute freedom, giving little to no direction. Somewhere in the middle of these two styles, is the democratic style. Democratic leaders gather a consensus from their subordinates or constituents considering their opinions on an issue, before making a final decision on the issue. Princess Atta used all three styles in the film, but primarily used a democratic style type of leadership.
