AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Under an autocratic leader, there’s no question who has the final say, whether it be on a critical business decision or how the company is run. When roles, rules, and processes are clearly defined in this leadership style setting, things tend to run smoothly and efficiently since one person is calling all the shots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Autocratic leadership is an authoritarian model in which leaders have absolute control. You might summon to mind Napoleon Bonaparte or Queen Elizabeth I: leaders with complete, top-down control over their empires.

Detailed explanation-3: -Autocratic leaders make all the decisions themselves. They do not consult their team, or let them make decisions. Once the decision has been made, they impose it and expect obedience. Democratic leaders take an active role in the decision-making process but they involve others.
