Employees of apple have responded well to the hard, autocratic style of Steve Jobs. Despite some saying that Autocratic style provides de-motivation, Apple has progressed greatly since then. An example would be when the Mac OS was created. It was because the employees were threatened with punishment, did they manage to achieve this incredible feat.
Could Apple have benefited
under a different style? Perhaps if Steve Jobs used the democratic
style. Apple could be a more productive and
inventive. The
autocratic style revolves around the leader making all the decisions. Therefore,
empowering the employees would encourage creative thinking and motivate
employees to work harder. This is by giving them the power to make decisions,
the authority to give the approval of a project and responsibility. Without these
key incentives, employees will lose their motivation and become disloyal to the
company.
I feel that Apple would have done better if employees had been empowered to make decisions on their own. Autocratic style might have been required in the past. However, Steve Jobs should have begun to use the democratic style when Apple's future became more secure.
