Leadership Styles
Leadership is the process of guiding and giving direction to a group of people in achieving a certain task (Liebler, Joan and Charles 408). The leader comes up with ways that have the capacity to impact a social influence and make a team achieve the desired objectives. It entails controlling others and impacting a sense of authority to meet certain goals. Leadership style is the manner and the approach of implementing plans, giving directions and ensuring that people are motivated in achieving the desired objectives (Liebler et al 411). According to Liebler et al (411-413), leadership styles are categorized into; autocratic, bureaucratic, participative, Laissez-faire, and paternalistic.
Autocratic leadership style is where an authoritarian leader keeps strict control over his subjects or the people under his rule; such leaders keep close supervision for objectives to be met (Liebler et al 411). The leaders have complete authority over the state or organization. Muammar Gaddafi was one of the most infamous autocrats of the world, who ruled over Libya for four decades. Gaddafi considered himself the king of kings (Asser).
Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, better known as Muammar Gaddafi, was in the desert area of Sirte in the year 1942. After studying at the University of Libya, joining the Benghazi Military Academy and going for further military training in Britain, he returned to Libya in 1969 and organized a successful coup to oust then government of the time (Asser).

He clung ion to power for 42 years, with his reign coming to an end when he was killed by NATO-led military intervenors in the Libyan Civil War. During his tenure, the autocrat was linked to political murders, training of rebels, supporting terrorism groups, and enacting oppressive laws among other authoritarian acts (Asser).
