Why is Commanding Leadership Style Still Abundant?
Chivandi, Lecturer, Zimbabwe, Member
The commanding leadership style demotivates workers. And even if it worsens the employer <> employee relationships, and even if workers will not produce the best results under this type of leadership style, unfortunately it seems this style is still dominating professional institutions. Makes me wonder, why is it still so omnipresent?

What's Behind Commanding Leadership Style
Jose Luis Roces, Professor, Argentina, Premium Member Behind this leadership style is a mental model focus on control. When the level of consciousness of the manager has developed, a mental model appears focusing on learning, which is better in many situations.
It allows the workers to reach their full potential.

Commanding Leadership Style
Stuart Langridge, Manager, United Kingdom, Member The commanding leadership style is about managers that are unable to encourage or motivate staff to fulfil their best potential because they have set their own designs on a career path and are reluctant to challenge the processes that are in place.
Empowerment is used as a buzz word, but actually means partial empowerment.
Commanding leaders do not want their staff thinking for themselves, they believe it undermines their position.
However, any forward thinking leader knows that you need to give people "room" to grow and develop. The key is to give staff a safe environment in which the needs of all can be met.
