Management styles 

There are many management styles in the world. Autocratic, democratic and laissez faire management style are the three widely accepted and discussed models of management used in organizations around the world today.

Autocratic

It is a leadership style which the leader individually controls over all the decisions. They make choices based on their judgments and ideas and rarely or not accept advises from their followers. Autocratic leadership involves absolute, authoritarian control over a group.

I think that autocratic management style should be used when the leader is experienced or the owner of the company. He can make wise decision and able to take the consequences. The leader is the most knowledgeable member of the group.

Democratic 

 The management will include the staff in the decision making process during group discussions, votes and staff meetings. Decisions are normally made upon by the majority. Manager will ask his or her staffs for their opinion while in the meeting instead of giving direct orders. But the manager has to make the final decision, based on the majority. 

I think that it should be used when the manager is still new. He or she can use the style to gain the reputation and confidence from the staff. If the manager is struggling for ideas,  it enables management to gather a large group of people together and gather new ideas to move the business forward.

Laissez faire

A management style which leaders are hands-off and allow group members to make the decisions. The leaders provide tools or items that are needed during work.

I think that it should be used when the group owns a lot of company. Leader cannot control all by himself as it is too broad. Each high position members control each department to help their leader.

Conclusion

But still there is no certain management style we have to follow. Advantages and disadvantages will occur in any style of management, so it’s important to be flexible and well rounded, being able to adapt your style to certain situations.

Are Leaders born or made?

I believe there is not exact answer. Everyone is born, so do the leaders. 
We are born genius, "gene-in-us" . We just have to discover it. The great leaders had discovered their gene, that's why they are successful. 

Sam Walton - founder of Walmart

He was the founder of Walmart, world's largest cooperation. He was the world's largest employer, over 2 million employee. His cooperation, Walmart is an multinational retail store. His family is one of the richest family in the world.


He was described as an industrious, ambitious boy who collected accomplishments as other boys collected toy cars. Sam's leadership style was popular among his employees and he founded some of the basic concepts that are still in use today. He believed that individuals don't win, teams do.   He also believed in community spirit and felt that each store should reflect his customer’s values and support the vision they held for their community. So he is a democratic leadership style leader.

He believe Walmart more than anything else. He tried to do the best he can. He believe in teamwork. He did not treat them as employees, but as partners. Money and ownership are not enough to motivate his partners, so he set a lot of goals, he also encouraged competition and he kept score. He liked to communicate with his partners. The more his partners know, the more they would understand, so Sam did not keep any secret from his partners. Before he passed away, he already made Walmart the largest cooperation in the world.

So I think that this is the leadership which a leader should have. Sam Walton set a very good example for us. Believing in team mates can make thing better. It is also important to know what your team mates feel, so that we can motivate them. 

What I admire him is his management in Walmart was very strong. He could control over two millions employees. He was a hard working person. He treated his customers well so that they don't lose faith in them. Most leaders tried to control most of the power in their cooperation but Sam Walton valued his partners and try to incorporate company performance with their compensation. I think his largest asset is his employees.
