Decision making with your employees will let them gain respect for the leader and become more determined. This style will bring strength between you and your employees. Laissez-Faire-This style is used when the leader is lazy or distracted, it’s more of a you do what you want style. This style can be used when the team is highly capable and motivated, it’s when the team doesn’t need close monitoring or supervision.

Following orders also instill discipline within the ranks. Orders come from the top ranks down to the lower ranks. Following those orders ensures everyone is on the same page to get the task done in the most efficient manner possible. If someone does not follow the orders given for a task and decides to do the task in their own way, the risk of failure is increased and more likely. It can have a very costly outcome The first lesson of leadership is learning how to follow orders.

A Theoretical Paper on Hegemony In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements in CA 8: Communication & Socio-Cultural Change Submitted by ESPOS, Jullienne BORJA, Ilayah EMLANO, Chynna DASALLA, Nicolo Ben MATEO, Desiree INTRODUCTION Social control and dominance for power have been present in every civilization. To remain in the seat of power and maintain control over classes or masses, several forms of government have been established and different laws, policies, and decrees had been drawn up to pacify political, economic, and social tumult. These forms of government are amended overtime, flawed bylaws and legislations are repealed, and new laws are created and implemented. Different pleas for social change have been made and ultimately, perhaps after decades of flak, social change ensues. Strange though, is how several ideologies still remain dominant and through time do not seem to ebb but rather only change form or structure, like patriarchy, racism, and other social issues.

Authoritarian Authoritarian leadership is a very direct leadership style where the team members MUST do what the team leader has said, if the work is not completed efficiently enough there will be consequences. This approach is not generally considered to be the most appropriate way to get the best response from a team in ordinary working life, but in the armed forces where urgency and pressure is needed to succeed, it is a necessary leadership style. Advantages Disadvantages Maintains order and discipline The team will rely just on the team leader to tell them what to do Decisions are made by only experienced leaders that know what they are doing Team members may feel devalued and fearful of punishment Allows inexperienced recruits to know how and when to do something Team members might not like being ordered what to do all the time without them being told why they have to do it Role of the team leader.
