When completely autocratic the leader doesn't seek any input from followers. Even when they do ask for input, the leader is ultimately responsible for the decision. Assumptions: - Leader has sufficient information about all options to make an effective decision. Strengths: - Produces fast results - Leader is fully accountable Weaknesses: - Weakens team morale and effort - Can lead to follower resentment Best use: - Emergencies - Quick turnarounds - Ex. military chain of command ([note on p.2](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/FQ672TGH?page=2)) ## Sources [[Decision Making Methods -Doss & Horsman 2013]]
