Task 1
Compare the different management styles that you may have observed and discuss the
leadership characteristics of the senior managers (1.1 & 1.2)
1.1 Management Styles
Management style refers to the ability of the management leader of a particular organisation to
lead their employees and work in synchronisation at their place of work (Clegg.et al., 2015).This
is known as the Management style. The study will now discuss on the various styles on the
theory of Management.
Autocratic Style of Management
Autocratic style of management works in accordance with their set of established ideas as they
are incorporated with the sole accountability of decision-making (Scase, 2017). Therefore the
managers do not take in the opinions of their junior employees. The junior employees are
usually under the strict observation of the Manager. They are not liable to take any decisions
without the permission of their superiors. The junior employees are reliant on the managers of
the organisation and are not liable to voice their opinions. The employees are subjected to the
established aims and objectives set by their managers. This style of management often leads to
inefficiency in the organisation as the employees are not enthused with motivation to work for
their managers.
Paternal Style of Management
Paternal style of Management is concerned with the senior managers who are accountable to
devise best strategies for the efficiency of their employees working for the benefits of their
organisation (Ward, 2106). The manager formulates certain policies for the benefit of their
organisation. The opinions and suggestions of the employees are taken into consideration. This
style of management enthuses motivation and reliability on the employees to work for their
organisation. The junior employees are not subjected to burden and work efficiently
Democratic Management Style
Democratic style of management involves the effective collaboration between the employees
and managers to formulate strategies and objectives for the well being of the organisation
