What is Autocratic Leadership?

Autocratic leadership embodies a management style where decision-making power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader without input from group members. 

This leader makes decisions based solely on their judgment and perspectives, typically without considering the opinions or suggestions of others. Such leaders enforce strict obedience and expect their directives to be executed without dissent. The style is most recognized for its direct, no-nonsense approach to leadership and governance, making it effective in certain professional scenarios where ambiguity can be a liability.
