Leadership models
• Autocratic leadership: The leaders of this style allows
managers to take decisions alone without the input of others.
Moreover, the managers have the total authority and control
over the employees. The decisions of autocratic leaders are
very strict, and no one challenges them. North Korea, as well
as Cuba, are two countries where autocratic leadership is
practiced. The employees get benefits from this leadership
style (Hollenbeck, McCall and Silzer, 2006).
