Question.

Do you (or would you want to) work in a autocratic,democratic,or consulative work enviroment? What migth be the advantages and disadvantages of each?

 I would want to work in a democratic work enviroment, because the leaders are the one to ask for collaboration with the followers, if they dont need it they wont ask for it, so the participation is limited. This is the advantage of democratic work enviroment, because your participation is limited, the disadvantage can be that the leaders can make desitions wothout hearing others. In the consulative work enviroment, there are much people and much ideas, and the most of the time you can not accomplish all the ideas or suggestions, this can be a disadvantage, the advantage can be that all other participants can feel as an important part of the organizations.
And the autocratic work enviroment, it wot be very goo at all, because you will have to work, and you can not suggest or participate in anithing. you alwayis will have to do what the leader want.
