Question:
Identify the style of leadership wherein the leader does not change or wishes to be contradicted by the subordinates.

Options:

Autocratic

Democratic

Participative

Free-rein

Correct Answer:

Autocratic

Explanation:
Autocratic or Authoritarian leader gives orders and expects his subordinates to obey those orders.

This leader is dogmatic, i.e., does not change or wish to be contradicted.
