Autocratic LeadershipManager makes all decisionsMinimal delegation of
responsibilityIdeal when critical decisions must
be made or with an unskilled workforce.
Top-down communication limits valuable feedback and leads to employee resentment.
Paternalistic LeadershipVery similar to autocratic
leadership.Difference is that the leader
demonstrates a sense of caring for subordinates.
Yet minimal responsibility is delegated and leader still makes all decisions.
Democratic LeadershipLeader discusses and involves
employees in decision making.Improves moral and motivation
of employees.Ideal when the leader cannot
always be present for decisions to be made.
Delays decision making and difficult with a large workforce.
Laissez-fairIntentional lack of involvement by the
leader.Subordinates given responsibility to
best decide how to meet the objectives set forth by the leader.
High levels of staff motivation.Ideal for skilled workers, especially in
jobs that require creativity.Encourages slack and makes
organization wide decision making very time consuming.
