[1] Autocratic Transactional: the “transaction” is that the organisation rewards (pays) the team, in return for their work & compliance. [2] Napoleon [3] High: telling, directing, controlling. [4] The leader has a lot of power over team members & has the right to reward good performance or punish members if they don't reach the agreed standard. They tell their team what they want done & how without often asking for advice from team members. Team members are given little opportunity to make suggestions, even if these would be in the team's interest. It should normally only be used occasionally The focus is on short-term tasks so it's more a a method of managing rather a true leadership style [5] Works well when you're short on time, & team is well motivated For some routine & unskilled tasks. In a crisis. With difficult employees. [6] Can achieve results quickly In research done on this groups were found to be most productive under autocratic, but if the leader was absent work stopped. [7] Team doesn't gain from creativity & knowledge of members, so benefits of teamwork are lost. Staff can't improve their job satisfaction& may resent the way they are treated leading to high absenteeism & staff turnover. Serious limitations but still much used. Sometimes thought of as bullying but this isn't a valid authoritarian style. [0]
