Leadership styles - Democratic v Authoritarian v Free Reign

Democratic seemed most successful today but there seemed to be agreement that this was only within the confines of this exercise day but in real life Authoritarian style might give better results.

I got no credit for trying to make a coup d'état and take over on the weak leadership exercise. Actually David the "weak leader" got the credit.
Generally the case that the manager takes the credit where it is the subordinate that may have done the hard donkey work... that's maybe part of the game.

Would have liked to explore the issues more on who gets promoted to leader and why .
It seems to me in my experience that the assertive or charismatic personality will get promoted regardless of ability. I have been told on a number of occasions that I am not assertive enough.. I have been on number of these games and never emerge as the leader.
