leadership, where a leader exerts high levels of power over
his or her employees or team members.

allowed to give any input. Employees are expected to obey
orders without receiving any explanations.
The motivation environment is produced by creating a
structured set of rewards and punishments.

it encourages employees to be a part of the decision making.
The democratic manager keeps his or her employees informed about
everything that affects their work and shares decision making and
problem solving responsibilities.
Democratic leadership can produce high quality and high quantity
work for long periods of time.
As participation takes time, this style can lead to things happening
more slowly than an autocratic approach, but often the end result is
better.

is more important than speed to market or productivity.

staff follow procedures exactly. They follow all the rules and
formalities of the organization.

must determine goals, make decisions, and resolve problems
on their own.

achieved and communicates this back to his or her team
regularly.
