Evaluate the range of leadership styles
Leadership styles refer to the structure that a leaders and managers follow to direct their
tem towards the desired goals and objectives.
Autocratic style: this style follows the rule of “do as I say”. This style is characterized by the
individual control over the decision making and on the working of the whole team. And also
includes a little input from the other group members. Autocratic leaders typically make choices
and decision based on their judgements and ideas and rarely accept others advice. This benefits
H&M in the good control over the team. Facilitates decision making without interruption and
results in the effective team. But it is useful in certain situations only(Cope and Murray, 2017.)
(Lonati, 2020).
