Management Styles - Quia



Management Styles |Definition | |

|Authoritarian |The manager dictates policies and procedures, decides what goals are to be achieved, and directs and controls all activities without |

| |any meaningful participation by the subordinates. |

|Autocratic |The manager makes all the decisions, keeping the information and decision making among the senior management. Objectives and tasks are|

| |set and the workforce is expected to do exactly as required. The communication involved with this method is mainly downward, from the |

| |leader to the subordinate |

|Bureaucratic |Style of management that emphasizes procedures and historical methods regardless of their usefulness in changing environments. |

| |Bureaucratic leaders attempt to solve problems by adding layers of control, and their power comes from controlling the flow of |

| |information. |

|Democratic |Democratic management style allows for the flow of free thought and the sharing of ideas between employees and managers. Managers |

| |typically want feedback from employees and other managers. Democratic management style puts all employees in an order of equal |

| |importance and involves feedback from everyone giving the managers a chance to listen and act on employee ideas. |

| | |

|Laissez-Faire |Non-authoritarian management style. Laissez faire (French for, allow to pass or let go) leaders try to give least possible guidance to|

| |subordinates, and try to achieve control through less obvious means. They believe that people excel when they are left alone to |

| |respond to their responsibilities and obligations in their own ways. |

|Participative |Type of management in which employees at all levels are encouraged to contribute ideas towards identifying and setting |

| |organizational-goals, problem solving, and other decisions that may directly affect them. |

|Paternalistic |Leadership or management style in which a male leader uses his power to control, protect, punish, and reward in return for obedience |

| |and loyalty from his employees, followers, or subordinates. Although eessentially dictatorial, the decisions tend to be in the best |

| |interests of the employees rather than the business |
