LO 1
1.1 Comparing different management styles
Various management styles are taken in consideration as per the organisational structure
and operational capacity of a business entity. There are a wide range of business activities and
styles that have been followed within the firm. Some major styles are:
 Autocratic style: This is a management style where the manager possesses all powers
and authority that will lead to effective management of business activities within a firm.
In such sort of management style, the staff members have no right to participate in
decision making. Thus, it doesn't work in the long run (Crosson-Tower, 2017).
 Democratic style: This is opposite of autocratic system. In this, the manager and other
staff has authority to make decisions for firm. This helps an organisation to get new and
innovative ideas for the development of firm. Besides this, it also facilitates good
communication on the organisational and structural level.
 Persuasive Style: It is a management style where manager will retain the power with
them but will be supportive enough to handle and manage problems related to employees.
It involves an effective communication which facilitates the appropriate solution of

managerial problems within a firm. It is better than the autocratic style but not efficient as
the democratic approach (Maxwell, 2018).
