As one of the ways that managers control their staff POWER can be a useful tool. 2 types- Personal power – their ability to command respect from staff through their job knowledge another source of personal power comes from referent power – it is their personality which attracts people and gives the manager authority Positional power comes from the authority from having the management job. The company gives the power to the managers to reward or punish employees. Managers may have personal power and use it but the overuse of positional power (punishment) will create negative impressions with staff. Staff should be rewarded for positive actions.

An autocratic style of leadership involves 1 way communication, it means that managers do not have all the information before instructing staff to act. It can be destructive if used all the time. It de-motivates staff, there is no involvement and staff lose interest in their job. Should only be used with new staff, poor performing staff or in emergency situations DISCUSS WITH PARTICIPANTS – WHO DO THEY KNOW?
THE DEMOCRATIC STYLE is directed more towards involving and informing staff. Staff are consulted with matters where no policy or there are problems that they cannot solve without the support of their staff. PROBABLY LIKE THE PERSON THEY DESCRIBED AT THE BEGINNING WHERE THEY DESCRIBED THEIR BEST BOSS. DISCUSS FURTHER WITH PARTICIPANTS IF FURTHER EXPLANATIONS ARE NEEDED.
