On the other hand, the voluntary spirit model relies on a management style that is intentionally different from product and services businesses (2004). In other words, the voluntary spirit model insists that nonprofit missions are not business-like, but instead, are centered on solving problems and nurturing relationships (2004).

Depending on the situation and the group I was leading, that situation would help me to determine which style of leadership I would need to use to be most effective. While I tend to use the delegative and participative styles much more
