Authoritative Leadership Style • An authoritative leadership style also known as autocratic or commanding style refers to when the individual who makes the prime decisions about a group, a company, an organization or a country, is the central decision maker, who has authority and demands mission accomplishment without counting on input from their followers.
A famous theorist that proven the impact of authority in normal human being is Milgram (1974) who found that human have two possible acts, their own, or on behalf of others or authority (Masters, 2009). Like all leadership styles, authoritative leadership style requires obedience.
For the sake of satisfying certain psychological needs like the need to be right or the need to be liked, human being blindly would obey to leaders they trust or found fair regardless of whether they share the same cultural values or not (Van Dijke, De Cremer & Mayer, 2010).
