Detailed explanation-1: -Excessive use of this leadership style may cause the leader to be viewed as domineering and iron-fisted, which can breed resentment or aggression among group members. Furthermore, followers may grow to resent that they are not able to contribute their expertise or opinions to decision making.
Detailed explanation-2: -One thing to remember though; if your team are not skilled in specific tasks, don’t resort to an authoritarian approach in the long term. Find ways to teach, coach and mentor them, so you can do more delegating and less directing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Autocratic leaders don’t foster creativity or problem solving in organisations. They also hold people back from developing new skills and abilities. A team run by an autocratic leader will not have the same level of new ideas and innovation that other teams have.
Detailed explanation-4: -Authoritarian leadership eliminates employees’ ability to provide input on daily tasks and decisions. This may be undesirable in some organisations, especially for those where creativity and innovation are beneficial for long-term success.
