The authoritative approach often results in a top-down decision-making process, leaving employees
feeling disengaged and undervalued. This dissatisfaction can impact morale, productivity, and
overall job satisfaction among team members.

Encouraging a collaborative and inclusive workplace culture is key to unlocking the full potential of a
team. Leaders should create an environment where team members feel empowered to share ideas,
provide feedback, and work together towards common goals. This approach not only enhances
innovation but also boosts overall employee satisfaction and engagement.
