Likert's 4 types of Management systems

Have you ever had a coach or boss that you absolutely hated, but for some reason you still managed to be successful in what you are doing? Whether you’re a coach in the realm of sports of a manager of business, you at one point have to decide how you are going to manage the people underneath you. The theory of Likert’s Four Leadership styles analyses the differences between alternate ways of managing people. Likert designed a questionnaire on a twenty-point scale with four sections, each representing one of the four styles of leadership. These different styles of leadership are very different and can all be effectively used in the proper situation.
If you have a boss that does not let you make any decisions, and motivates you by constantly saying, “hey you better that in on time or your fired!” You have a boss who belongs in the Exploitative Authoritative leadership system. This system involves the employees hating their bosses with mediocre productivity with a result of high turnover meaning people hate their jobs. This model gives the coaches or manager more control over the organization. The employees or players know their roles and are always on the same page.
The next leadership syetem is the Benevolent Authoritative. A coach with this type of leadership style sells his idea to the players give who then give him some feedback, but still ultimately he has the final say. Due to the fact that this leadership style generates better productively and lower turnover, it is favored over the Exploitative Authoritative leadership model.
The third system model is the Consultative leadership model. The leader consults and gathers employee feedback. It features more interaction between boss and employees. Workers who are ruled by this model have good productivity with a much less turnover than the previous two systems.
The fourth system is the Participative leadership model. This model features very frequent interaction and constant communication between coaches and players. Employees or players under this model receive a great amount of satisfaction and do great work with low turnover.
Depending on where you work, or whomever your coach is for whatever sport you play, the leadership model will vary. Considering that the fourth system has that most amount of satisfaction with great work and low turnover, it would make sense that most leaders would apply this model. Although in reality it seems like most bosses and coaches use the either Exploitative Authoritative or the Benevolent Authoritative model. From a sports stand point, if you are a coach, the fact that with these models you are going to experience a high turnover means that a fair percentage of your players are going to quit. This tactic of weeding out the weaker players makes for a stronger, tougher, team.
These leadership models can all be effective in different situations, think about how your boss or coach treats you, what leadership system does he or she fall under?
