Leading with strengths vs weaknesses

"Autocratic Leadership" will teach you the autocratic approach to leadership. When creating workplace policies, does your team pick the methods, or do you? Do you encourage debate, or is your word the only word? Those following the autocratic framework adhere to a “Do as I say” philosophy, rather than a “What do you think?” approach. These leaders run a tight ship, and they expect their team to listen, obey, and fall in line. 

Under the right circumstances, autocratic leadership is a necessary style for steady precision. But in the wrong environment, it can dissuade teams and stifle ingenuity. Learn how to spot the right setting and make the method work for you.
