Anyone who has spent time in an office, factory or other working environment will be aware that different managers have different styles, and that some people seem to manage to get the best out of there staff while others struggle to get them to follow even the most basic of orders. Experts agree that the way managers act, can be classified into several basic styles of management, and these different styles may be appropriate in different situations.
Autocratic
The autocratic style of management is one where the manager makes all of the decisions without consulting the staff and does not leave time for consultation, negotiation or input from team members. This style of management works well in emergency situations or in a very time-pressured industry, where there is simply not time for lengthy discussions among management and their staff. Working in this sort of environment in other sorts of businesses can leave staff feeling dictated to and dissatisfied.
Consultative
Managers who fall into the consultative style of management still take most of the decisions on their own, but do also make the effort to take into account the thoughts and feelings of their staff. The problem with this sort of management is that staff soon realise that they are not being listened too, and that consultations with management is more of a box-ticking exercise than it is about getting real influence over decisions which are made.
Laissez-Faire
At the other end of the scale from the autocratic manager, a laissez-faire manager pretty much leaves all of the decisions to the team and interferes as little as possible. In a business where everyone has clearly defined responsibilities and all members of the team work well together, this management style can mean that people have a greater feeling of ownership and job satisfaction. For example, a manager in a publishing company has no need to get involved in the details of producing a business directory if he has team leaders and account managers who can be trusted to get on with things. The disadvantage of having a laissez-faire manager is that individual staff members can feel a bit lost and without direction, especially if they are new to the company.
Democratic
Perhaps bringing together the best of all styles, a democratic manager will fully engage with all members of staff and will ensure that all major decisions are put to the vote. This is the best management style in a business which is trying to bring together people from many different specialist areas to develop a new product or service. It can mean though that having to consult everyone about every little decision makes the decision making process extremely slow, and issues such as deciding which business guide to be listed in become overly complex. It can also mean that the best decisions are not always made as the manager will go with the majority, even if they are convinced that a more appropriate course of action is available to the company.
