Question:
Under which style of leadership there is no delegation of authority?
Options:
Free-rein
Autocratic
Democratic
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Autocratic
Explanation:
Autocratic or Authoritarian leader : An autocratic leader gives orders and expects his subordinates to obey those orders. If a manager is following this style, then communication is only one-way with the subordinate only acting according to the command given by the manager. This leader is dogmatic, i.e., does not change or wish to be contradicted. His following is based on the assumption that reward or punishment both can be given depending upon the result.
