From New York Times bestseller Mark Murphy comes the definitive guide to leadership styles! Based on a study of more than 300,000 leaders, we've discovered the four fundamental leadership styles: Pragmatist, Idealist, Steward and Diplomat.

The leadership style of Amazon reflects the autocratic, long-term thinking of its leader, Jeff Bezos. Some in Amazon's leadership report that Bezos enforces this culture with a highly demanding, ambitious environment. It's then up to Amazon's leaders to live up to this culture.

Jeff Bezos is often described as a transformational leader. He emphasises collaboration, communication, innovation, customer focus, and employee empowerment.

When you think about the defined leadership styles, Elon Musk's style is best defined as transformational. He believes there's a better way to do everything, and he sets his sights on constant improvement. He has big ideas and wants to unite his team around his (sometimes outrageous) vision and objectives.
