The use of verbal counseling, written warnings, probation, and termination are frequent. This manager will go to extremes, and reprimand employees in the presence of others. While everyone else will be at fault, this manager will seldom be. The autocratic manager displays authority in the belief that the process holds workers accountable, and motivates them into improved performance. He or she is not a leader, but rather, a boss who forces the results.
Workers do as they are told.
They do not ask. Although common, this is not an effective management style because the employees generally dislike and resent, the style, manager, and the person. On the contrary, the participatory manager control the group by using forces that reside within the group, such as peer pressures, as opposed to authority that is vested in him, or her by the organization itself. Positive leaders motivate workers to excel through respect for the organization, and the desire to succeed. Where the negative manager keeps all the credit for a job well done, the positive manager will openly give credit to his employees.
