What are some examples of Autocratic, Consultative, Persuasive, Participate and Laissez-Faire managers?
I have a few in mind, but I'd like to hear other peoples suggestions to compare, so far I have:
Autocratic: A manager at the Herald Sun (because of the strict deadlines where newspapers must be published)
Consultative: unsure
Persuasive: A Coles manager deciding on a technique to boost sales who would then persuade his employees as to why this technique is effective.
Participative: A school teacher
Laissez-Faire: Web designing company
Autocratic - This style would be used by particular managers in emergency situations to pass down orders accordingly in a time efficient manner, aswell as hostile environments like hospitals when you must listen to the SNR surgeon blablabla.
Persuasive - You would not be using the word 'persuade' in your argument, so cut that out now. Also, just an off-the-topic tip, when you are identifying the management styles used by particular managers, if a word like 'consults' comes up, it doesn't necessarily mean the style is 'consultative,' as many styles use that approach with different characteristics on other features. Never the less, a persuasive style would be used when, I don't know, a branch of an organisation was shut down, and the manager had to tell all staff about these big decisions whilst employees got no say in the matter.
Consultative - This is used in most LSO environments. Pick and choose at a normal company, most private companies, and you'd be on the ball.
Participative - On the ball there.
Laisses-Faire - Your example could be used, but I think as creativity is the biggest stand point in it, you could say a manger of an art complex uses it, as they have open communication but are completely and utterly responsible for their own occupation, and would sometimes be hard to contact.
