In leadership as an academic discipline, there are ten widely recognized styles of leadership: transactional, transformational, democratic, autocratic, bureaucratic, laissez-faire, servant, situational, cross-cultural, and charismatic.
It is rare for a leader to operate exclusively within one style of leadership. A more common occurrence is a blended style that leans more in the direction of one style. This is the case with Erin Brockovich.
Erin Brockovich's leadership blends transformational, servant, situational, and charismatic styles, and it leans more toward the charismatic style than it does the other three. Her style is transformational in the sense that her leadership and actions are focused on substantial and meaningful change. It is servant in the sense that her mission is grass-roots and serves to accommodate and empower the powerless. It is situational in that her move into a leadership role is influenced entirely by the circumstances of her life and community. Lastly, her style is charismatic in that she is able to effect change as a result of her personality, passion, compassion, and personal investment in her cause.
