How: Autocratic, Democratic and Laissez-Faire

There are 3 types of leadership styles that is also related to business organisation communication. There is autocratic, democratic and Laissez-Faire.

Autocratic

Autocratic leadership style is mostly for those leaders who are strict and just wants the work done their way.It means that the leader will tell/command the worker exactly what and how to do, the worker's feedback will not be bothered by the leader as he only wants the work done his way. This leadership style mostly found in strict workplaces or even in the military. Autocratic can increase productivity significantly as direct task are given to the worker but it may not increase creativity as the workers are only allowed to do what they are told to.

Democratic

Democratic requires debates, arguments and decision-making as you are considering the opinions of others. Democratic leadership style takes a longer time as you need to discuss what should you do and the opinions of others, but the result of the decision would be more successful as you discuss with all kinds of opinions from others. Democratic leadership style can be found in workplaces, school and etc. Democratic can also increase productivity as good decisions are made and also increases creativity and work efficiency.


Laissez-Faire

Laissez-Faire tends to increase creativity and independence as the task will be given to them and the rest will be for them to work out. This kind of leadership style may not be useful others as the workers might not be doing the work as they are given too much responsibility and freedom to do what they want. It may decrease productivity and efficiency of work may decrease.
