Critical Thinking 7.1

Do you see any problems with a democratic managerial style? Can you see a manager getting frustrated when he or she can't control others? Can someone who's trained to give orders (e.g., a military sergeant) be retrained to be a democratic manager? What problems may emerge? What kind of manager would you be? Do you have evidence to show that?

If you aren't sure, read the following chapters and see what's involved.
