autocratic leadership  

Definición

  • A popular saying, often seen these days on T-shirts worn by suburban matrons, reads: “Because I'm the Mommy, that's why!” This innocently humorous slogan contains a core of truth, and it also expresses what many scholars regard as the essence of autocratic leadership: “Do as I say, because I'm telling you to do it!” The first systematic study of leadership styles was undertaken by Kurt Lewin and his colleagues and published in 1938. Using as subjects a group of tenyear-old children at a YMCA, Lewin examined the reactions of the children to adult leaders who had been instructed to use one of three leadership styles: autocratic (the leader makes all decisions), democratic (decision making is shared by leader and followers), and laissez-faire (the followers make all decisions themselves).
