No. I do not think leadership style is fixed.

Explanation:

There are various leadership styles used by leaders in organizations depending on the type of job, the category of employees, the situation, or the organizational goal the leader is trying to achieve.

Some of these leadership styles include; bureaucratic, democratic, autocratic, servant and transactional leadership styles.

It is best for leaders to be flexible and know what style to adopt depending on the particular situation.

For example, in situations where employees are inexperienced, a leader should choose a leadership style (such as bureaucratic leadership) where he gives instructions and directs the employees on what to do.

If on the other hand, such a leader is in charge of experienced employees, then he can adopt the democratic style of leadership, where the employees are allowed to give inputs and have freedom to make certain decisions.
