What is your leadership style in your organization?

to lead by example and without being condescending 

Depends on the situation. At times you need to lead and dictate and at times you need to invite people to participate and contribute.

I like the Laissez-faire style, as I prefer to give my employees to be creative, take initiatives and take responsibilities for what they do. Of course, before doing that, I make sure my employees have the right knowledge and experience and they understand (very well) their goals, objectives and responsibilities.

There are three major styles of leadership:

1. Autocratic leaders make decisions without consulting their team members, even if their input would be useful. This can be appropriate when you need to make decisions quickly, when there's no need for team input, and when team agreement isn't necessary for a successful outcome. However, this style can be demoralizing, and it can lead to high levels of absenteeism and staff turnover.
2. Democratic leaders make the final decisions, but they include team members in the decision-making process. They encourage creativity, and people are often highly engaged in projects and decisions. As a result, team members tend to have high job satisfaction and high productivity. This is not always an effective style to use, though, when you need to make a quick decision.
3. Laissez-faire   leaders give their team members a lot of freedom in how they do their work, and how they set their deadlines. They provide support   with resources and advice if needed, but otherwise they don't get involved. This autonomy can lead to high job satisfaction, but it can be damaging if team members don't manage their time well, or if they don't have the knowledge, skills, or self motivation to do their work effectively. (Laissez-faire leadership can also occur when managers don't have control over their work and their people.).

Ours is more democratic at the top.

My own leadership strategy managed under a smile environment.

Democratic when employees can participate and share perspectives, and Autocratic when I have to be... It depends on the situation !
