The ultimate task-oriented leadership style, autocratic or “command and control” leaders operate in an “I’m the boss” fashion. They provide clear expectations and directions to employees, telling them what to do and when and how to do it. Autocratic leaders make decisions on their own without input from the rest of the group.
Good for: urgent situations where results must be accomplished quickly; situations where the leader has far more knowledge than the team; new employee training
Bad for: creative or knowledge-based jobs; often damages employee morale, initiative and loyalty
Example: Steve Jobs is the rare example of an autocratic leader whose leadership style encouraged creativity—although only within his particular parameters
This leadership style is one entrepreneurs can easily fall into without being aware of it. After all, if you start a business because you want to do things “your way” (as many of us do), and you’re impatient with employees who don’t feel your business’s needs as urgently as you do, it can be hard to listen to others. In addition to alienating workers, the autocratic approach’s other main weakness is that it can become hard for the team to imagine functioning without you.
