Contrast the autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire styles of decision making.

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

The classic study comparing autocratic and democratic styles found that a democratic approach resulted in the most positive attitudes, but an autocratic approach resulted in somewhat higher performance. A laissez-faire style, in which the leader essentially made no decisions, led to more negative attitudes and lower performance. These results seem logical and probably represent the prevalent beliefs among managers about the general effects of these approaches. Democratic styles, appealing though they may seem, are not always the most appropriate. When speed is of the essence, democratic decision making may be too slow, or people may want decisiveness from the leader. Whether a decision should be made autocratically or democratically depends on the characteristics of the leader, the followers, and the situation.
