as being a leader.

 Styles of Leadership

There are three basic styles of

leadership:
• Autocratic
• Democratic
• Free rein

4/1/2024 20
 Autocratic Leadership

Autocratic means “self-ruling.”

Autocratic leadership is when you
like to run everything yourself and
answer to no one.

4/1/2024 21
 Autocratic Leadership

Autocratic leaders assume people

don’t like to work, that they avoid
responsibility, and that they have to be
watched all the time.

4/1/2024 22
 Autocratic Leadership

Autocratic leaders usually control their

workers through fear and intimidation.
The biggest problem with autocratic
leaders is that people don’t like to work
for them.

4/1/2024 23
 Autocratic Leadership

An autocratic leader is useful in

situations where it’s important to obey
orders without question.
An autocratic style rarely works in a
business setting.

4/1/2024 24
 Democratic Leadership

Democratic leadership means that

managers and employees work
together to make decisions.

4/1/2024 25
 Democratic Leadership

A democratic leader assumes that

people are not lazy and want to work.
By showing your workers you have
confidence in them, they are more
likely to have confidence in you.

4/1/2024 26
 Free-Rein Leadership

Free-rein leadership requires the

leader to set goals for managers and
employees and then leave them alone
to get the job done.

4/1/2024 27
 Free-Rein Leadership

Another name for this type of

leadership style is hands-off
leadership.

4/1/2024 28
 Free-Rein Leadership

Giving managers and employees the

power to run things and make
decisions is called delegating.

4/1/2024 29
 Free-Rein Leadership

The reasons for a leader to delegate

are:
• You don’t have the time to run
everything yourself.
• You can focus on more important
work.
continued
4/1/2024 30
 Free-Rein Leadership

• It gets your employees more

involved.
• It gives your employees a chance to
develop their own potential.

4/1/2024 31
 Free-Rein Leadership

You shouldn’t delegate if you’re doing it

because you’re lazy, don’t have
confidence, or don’t want the
responsibility.
That is not leadership.

4/1/2024 32
 Free-Rein Leadership

Who you choose to delegate power to

is a test of your leadership skill.

4/1/2024 33
 Self-Managed Teams

Many companies have been putting

workers on self-managed teams, or
work groups that supervise
themselves.

4/1/2024 34
 Self-Managed Teams

By letting teams manage themselves,

companies are able to get rid of many
managing jobs and replace them with a
team leader.

4/1/2024 35
 Self-Managed Teams

In a self-managed team, the leader is a

team player rather than a boss.

The leader doesn’t have to answer to

upper management.

4/1/2024 36
 Self-Managed Teams

The team usually works on a single

project, like designing a video game.

The team is more goal-oriented than

task-oriented.

4/1/2024 37
 The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams

Self-managed teams are organized in

two ways:
1. Each team member has a special
skill, or
2. the team selects one team leader.

4/1/2024 38
 The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams

As team leader, you make decisions

with the team. This makes everyone
feel important so everyone contributes
more.

4/1/2024 39
 The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams

The advantages of self-managed

teams are:
• They’re more goal-oriented than task-
oriented.
• They’re faster and more efficient.

 The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams
