8. Autocratic style If a manager is an autocratic manager, he/she is the main decision maker. They keep most of the authority to themselves, they do not delegate or share information with employees. Communication flows from the leader to subordinates and back up again Little need for subordinates to communicate together They set the objectives, allocate tasks and expect the workforce to do exactly what is required. This is not always the most popular management approach and the workforce is not always happy or motivated. If the leader makes all the right decision it can be effective.

9. Democratic style A democratic manager does not take complete control; this type of manager allows the employees to take part in decision-making. A Persuasive Leader Makes the decisions but then persuades the staff to accept through discussion and reasoning A consultative leader Will take subordinates views into account when making decisions. The employees are consulted and made to feel as though they are part of a team before any final decisions are made.

10. Democratic style These approaches helps to motivate the staff as they feel they have a say as well. This style of management is more popular than the autocratic style, this is because the employees are not “told” what to do, but are “asked” for suggestions. Decision making does take longer (Maslows higher order of needs, Herzberg’s motivators) (Maslows higher order of needs, Herzberg’s motivators)
