    This document compares and contrasts autocratic and democratic leadership styles. Autocratic leadership is a centralized, top-down style where the leader makes all decisions with little input from group members. Democratic leadership is a decentralized, participative style where the leader acts as a guide and the group collectively contributes to decision-making. While autocratic leadership can be faster, democratic leadership fosters more ideas, commitment, and productivity but takes more time. The best style depends on factors like employee skills and organizational goals.
