Today, on the mentoring course, three management styles of founders were analyzed and bright signs for their identification are:
š¹ Authoritarian style. The founder alone makes decisions and is dismissive of employees.
šš»āāļø Democratic style. The founder coordinates the goals with the employees. Decisions are made jointly with the team. Informal communication with the team is the norm.
šš¼ Liberal style. The founder avoids making decisions. The team is informed about something or only if they themselves ask.
I looked at myself through this prism and realized that my style is not authoritarian for sure, since I trust the tasks and solutions to the team members. Otherwise, why hire people for a team who you don't trust and don't let you do your job? I do not dismiss the team. The liberal style is more likely not to a greater extent, since I do not avoid making decisions, but I felt that I was communicating with the team in a metered manner. I think this is a point of growth - now I will pay more attention to it and become better.
As a result, I defined myself more in a democratic management style.
How do co-founders with different management styles work together? Are they getting along or is it hard? Or do they not work at all? What is your management style?
