As a lead I find the best approach is to just figure out the person on your team and use whatever approach suits their personality well. On that topic, remember to say thank you when someone on your team gets you out of a jam, There are parts of the systems at work that I simply don't understand yet/never will because they are far outside of my team typically so if someone saves me a bunch of time because they happen to know that system, a thank you goes a long way - it's also an admission that as a lead you don't know everything. I find "I don't know either, lets find out" opens a more productive dialogue than pretending you know everything - on top of which seniors (and good juniors) can spot a bluff anyway and you just lose credibility. Almost any management style works if you are genuine, open and authentic.
