When I think of the last company I worked for, and I read of the leadership styles of Levin’s model I find that Autocratic leadership best fits that company. They always gave direct orders and directives to what are job was and what was to be done to achieve what they wanted from us. Our management team did not seek any suggestions from employees because there was no need for input from us so; they believed strongly that this style or company mission worked best. Autocratic leadership centralize all decision making power in the leader because it enables a quick decision making style. This leadership style will potentially work best, when there is no need for input, and when any input would not strengthen the outcomes. Furthermore so to empower enough control and issue order in the company. This all seems a little extreme and would be a hard place to work for as well, it was hard and very stress full. In one room we had what you would say, top management president, middle management supervisors, lower management coaches, and training. Some advantages to this type of leadership for that company would be that it reduces errors, information leaks, smooth management, streamed line operations, and is effective for group projects. One person makes the decisions for the group and says how it is done and sets deadlines. Furthermore, following a strict hierarchy, process management, and reporting systems unsure that the operations are all conducted as smoothly as possible so that the company will achieve their goals. Some disadvantages could be exploitations, discourage employees, and over dependence. Also I believe this to be true, this type of leadership will not allow his subordinates to acquire capabilities, and or, skill set outside their own set of duties. The management from this company helped in a lot of ways to make sure we had enough information and training so we could make the goals
