Directing
What is Democratic Leadership Style? Explain any two of its advantages and two disadvantages.
Meaning: It refers to that leadership style in which the leader consults with his subordinates before making any final decision.
Advantages:
(i) High Morale: Under this style, the enthusiasm of the managers and the employees is sky-high. Both consider each other their well-wishers.
(ii) Creation of More Efficiency and Productivity: Since the employees are participants in the decision making, they give full cooperation in implementing them. In this way their efficiency increases.
Disadvantages:
(i) Requirement of Educated Subordinates: The chief characteristic of this leadership style is that the subordinates are made partners in taking decisions, so much so that some little affairs are left to them. Such a cooperation can be expected only from the educated employees.
(ii) Delay in Decisions: It is clear that while taking decisions the subordinates are always consulted. This makes it a long process.
