The information provided in this short video is accurate as far as it goes.

This resource simply does not have adequate depth to stand alone for use in the study of leadership styles at the undergraduate and particularly not at the graduate level.
More in-depth materials would be needed to adequately address each style and provide a conceptual foundation.
