Should a business owner be a dictator in leading the staff?

[Kross]

Some people are always of the opinion that a business owner should be democratic in leading the staff of the business. Some business owners though are dictators in leadership.

Do you think dictatorship in business leadership is entirely bad?

There are times that dictatorship is the best form of leadership in business. When it requires decisiveness in making business decisions, you have to be a dictator.

I think a business owner should use whatever method is best suitable for the staffs. Though i feel a mixture of different leadership style would be best. Use the style that best suit the situation.

Autocratic leadership in business is not always bad, but it does require a lot of caution. There are some situations where quick decisions and direct direction from the owner can be helpful—especially in times of emergency or when the business is at high risk. In those cases, quick decisions can save the company.

But in general, autocratic leadership can kill creativity, lower employee morale, and prevent open communication. When employees feel they are not being heard or have no opportunity to express their opinions, they may withdraw mentally or even physically. This affects productivity and internal trust.

I personally don't know how to be harsh or tough on people. I lead with diplomacy in my business and it works for me. Don't believe in autocracy to lead a business team.

You are a unique kind of leader and that is a strength not a weakness. Being gentle does not mean you are indifferent but you have the wisdom to listen. People grow to respect honesty more than fear. Leading with heart builds a strong team. Keep it up.

It is not the best to be a dictator in a workplace. It would make the workers uncomfortable in the workplace

Although I hate dectetor ship in business, but I faced this for nearly around 3 years. The M.D was in full charge he was not listening even his son who was active director there.
Sometimes I saw him that he was slapping to their even educated employees.
