In this style of management authoritarian manager makes all the decisions, keeping the information and decision making among the senior management. Objectives and tasks are set and the workforce is expected to do exactly as required. The communication involved with this method is mainly downward, from the leader to the sub-ordinate critics. The main advantage of this style is that the direction of the business will remain constant, and the decisions will all be similar, this in turn can project an image of a confident, well managed business. On the other hand, subordinates may become highly dependent upon the leaders and supervision may be needed. Decisions are taken centrally by the senior management themselves and are enforced at all levels.

2. Participative

This is also called Democratic style. In this style the manager allows the employees to take part in decision-making so everything is agreed by the majority. The communication is extensive in both directions. This style can be particularly useful when complex decisions need to be made that require a range of specialist skills.

3. Mixed

The style of management is a combination of both authoritative and participative style. In this type the Input from employees is taken and respected. Final decision is taken by the senior management keeping in view the views given by the employees
