Management style is the manner and approach of providing direction, implementing plans and motivating people. Most leaders use a range of styles based on the organisations structure, the situation that needs to be managed, their own personality and the characteristics of their subordinates. There are five distinct management styles.
Management Style Continuum Task-Orientated Employee-Orientated
Autocratic / Authoritarian • Boss centred • Managers make the majority of decisions • Little trust in employees • Strict top down chain of command
Persuasive • Very similar to the autocratic management style (follows the same principles) • Managers endeavour to persuade employees the decisions they have made are right
Consultative • Managers consult employees • Management makes all final decisions • Understands the importance of positive relationships with employees
Participative • Employees are a part of decision-making • Involves a team work approach • Suited to a flat management structure
Laissez-Faire • Managers take a step back • Employees are given control for setting direction, tasks and decision-making.
