Why Do People Have Different Kinds of Leadership Styles?

Leaders are like different kinds of teachers. Some teach by telling you exactly what to do, like a strict teacher who writes all the answers on the board. Others let you explore and figure things out on your own, like a teacher who lets you play with puzzles until you find the solution. These different ways people lead are called leadership styles.
