Abstract: Leadership style refers to the approach used to set direction, implement plans, and motivate employees effectively. This study was conducted to understand various leadership styles that help overcome challenges and problems faced by human resource managers in achieving optimal performance and employee engagement, or maximum employee output. It also influences employee motivation, behavior, and, most importantly, the organization's ventures. The purpose of this paper is to explore how transformational leadership impacts employee efficiency, examine the effects of participative leadership, and evaluate how authoritarian leadership influences maximum employee output. The significance of the study lies in providing a comprehensive view of these leadership practices and their relationship with optimal employee yield. Using a qualitative research design, the study employed a phenomenological approach to analyze ideas and perspectives from various authors. The findings suggest that transformational leadership facilitates the identification of necessary changes, the development of effective strategies for guiding growth through encouragement, and the implementation of change by ensuring alignment within the team. Participative leadership encourages employees to participate, offer ideas, and freely discuss issues, thereby improving decision-making. Regarding authoritarian leadership, it was observed that total control over decisions can disengage employees and is mainly helpful for short-term projects.
