Leadership styles

-Autocratic
-Democratic
-Laissez faire

These are the three main styles of leadership that you will find almost anywhere.

What is an autocrat?
An autocrat is someone who makes decisions on their own. They explain the objectives of the company and the employees are told to work in the scope of these objective.

What is a democrat?
A democratic leader is one who allows everyone to have a vote. This style of leadership is often seen in the technological industry. They must be fluid and easily changed. This is when the democratic style of leadership is most useful

What is Laissez-faire?

Laissez-Faire leaderships try to minimize guidance to their subordinates. They try to achieve control through means that are not as obvious. This is because Laissez-faire leaders believe that people excel when they are left alone and have their own responsibilities. 

Steve jobs was an autocratic leader. Examples of this would be getting “steved”. this involved being fired on the spot if expectations were not met.

                I believe that using the autocratic style has its benefits. However, in terms of running Apple, I believe that a Laissez-faire would be more appropriate. When employees are motivated, they will invent new products which may be better than Steve Jobs’s own ideas.
