Dictatorial Style

The leader or manager using this style operates like a dictator. He or she makes all the decisions about what, where, when, why, how things are done, and who will do them. Employees failing to following directions are usually severly disciplined or given cause for “early retirement” (as recently happened to a friend of mine).

The dictatorial leader traits are: all decision-making power is theirs, unrealistic in demands, uses excessive discipline and punishment, does not allow others to question decisions or authority

A more passive style of this is: all decision-making power is theirs, unrealistic demands clouded in humor, subtle forms of discipline and punishment, allows questions about decisions (on the surface) but ignores them, pretends to be your friend only to get their way.

Do you find someone like this around you?

i feel dictatorial leaders make the best leaders, provided they always think for the best... there would be no one then, to question the 'good' that they do... but unfortunately, god didn't make all men virtuous enough so that they think "Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu"!! given this condition, dictatorship is a big flop, and it has always led to an antithesis...
