Upon completing the psychology quiz on About.com, it was determined by my answers to the proposed questions that I fall into the Participative Leadership group. This type of leadership group is considered the “most effective leadership style” though it is important to note that truly effective leadership styles incorporate all three forms of leadership: authoritarian, participative and delegative (Cherry).
