The visionary leadership communicates the vision or the ideal state to team members. Such leaders inspire. Exemplary leaders lead by example. in a team the exemplary leader takes up responsibilities and shows how things should be done.

Micro-management means the leader closely observes or controls the work of team members. It is believed that micromanagement has a harmful effect. Upper echelons management means that the leader is primarily concerned with the overall strategy, policy, and providing direction to the team.
