Autocratic Leadership Style

Autocratic leadership is one of the three leadership styles. In this video, we'll look at its definition, examples, characteristics, and skills. We see this authoritarian style exaggerated in movies but in real life management, the autocratic leadership style has both strengths and weaknesses. This is the first video in a three-part series on the autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire styles.

I think all good leaders will evaluate themselves to identify what leadership style works best for them.

Great video can l say Warren Jeff is an autocratic leader and why

amazing thumbnail

[@selocan469]

What Captain Sobo in the band of brothers is an example to that. This is military, it is not exactly a ground for democracy, he can be judged as harsh or easygoing at most but as a superior officer, he is not to debate with his inferiors while making decisions. And Darth Sidious should be used instead of Darth Vader as well.

Can confirm. Under an autocracy the subjugate has no self initiative.

[@jamiecooper7948]

Where can I find the follow up videos? Got an exam Tuesday and would be useful. Thanks.

This style needs to be renamed to something with less negative connotations. It's not like we call laissez-faire leadership style as anarchical leadership style (although we probably should). I say rename autocratic leadership style to something like top-down leadership style. PS - I consider myself democratic leadership style but I would much prefer an autocratic leader any day over the dreaded laissez-faire one. At least the autocratic leader is doing their job and earning their higher pay even if I don't agree with their method. Unlike the laissez-faire ones of whom I don't know what they do all day. As a democratic style when I seek input horizontally from a laissez-faire, I get nothing but a blank face glowing with a lack of knowledge/technical expertise and get more value from one of their team members who get paid less and do more

[@dejountaewashington3874]

What’s often times misunderstood of the laissez-fairs is that they don’t do anything. It takes immense, and higher level skill to properly gauge when the “right” time come as opposed to constant hovering-especially for high competent workers.

[@darrenhodge7800]

Different personalities thrive or wither under different management styles. I personally thrive under laissez-faire management as I'm highly skilled and competent. I prefer a manager that gives me a goal and allows me to achieve that goal using my skills. A manager that hovers, micro-manages and undermines would make me leave an organisation in a heart beat. The autocratic style does have it's place but it's better used for inexperienced workers that need more direction and oversight and should be eased off as the worker gains skill, experience and knowledge.

Oh ok so Joe Biden is an autocrat. Excellent! Couldn't agree more

[@markmeandering446]

I believe Trump opened the door to autocracy.

[@kylebunke827]

Sounds like Justin Trudeau

[@thefirm9724]

Your video is informational but you seem to be pushing a bias opinion this is questionable from a PhD Present the facts leave you biased opinions out and you will obtain a larger audience. I challenge you to make this video again without your biased opinion Hemorrhaging all over the video a proper factual accounting add pros and cons You sir have been challenged.
