Despite the flood of theories and courses which seek to “prove” that ultra-participative leadership styles are “superior”, the overwhelming majority of managers and supervisors stay pretty much the way they’ve always been! After all, it’s taken them a lifetime to get that way and the chances of changing them without intensive psychotherapy are slim.
In addition, practical experience shows that no one style is superior over another if each is properly carried out and suited to the work and workgroup. Results, creativity, growth, loyalty and a balance concern for both work and people are equally possible under Autocratic, Consultive or Participative styles of leadership.
