I would like to became an Autocratic Leadership Style : The ultimate task-oriented leadership style, autocratic or “command and control” leaders operate in an “I’m the boss” fashion. They provide clear expectations and directions to employees, telling them what to do and when and how to do it. Autocratic leaders make decisions on their own without input from the rest of the group.
