This module I learned the different leadership styles. This image shows autocratic, laissez-faire, and democratic. The leadership style missing is engaging leadership. These leadership styles are beneficial to know about not only as a leader but also as an employee. I think it is important to know the person who may be giving orders to know their intent and how they run their establishment.

During this module, I also learned that effective management, in my opinion should not only consist of the managers directing. "Fayol recognized that management is fundamentally a process involving people. He saw that work could be managed more efficiently and smoothly by supporting the workers doing the tasks." A quote from our module reading. I will apply, to my career, the benefits of effective management and always support my employees.
