Traditional approaches to leadership in organizations have been largely based on autocratic leadership styles where leaders rely on hierarchical structures and top down decision making. They may have served well enough in the past but they are increasingly being realized to be ineffective as the workplace is rapidly changing today.One of the major weaknesses of traditional leadership approaches is that they tend to discourage employee engagement and creativity. Autocratic style leaders make decisions with minimal input from their team members leading to lack of ownership and buy-in. This can result in reduced motivation levels thus causing an indifferent workforce thereby impacting productivity and innovation negatively.
