In this situation, the best managerial style for Peter would be autocratic. Given the tight deadline and the need for quick decision-making to meet the increased production demand, an autocratic approach would allow Peter to make decisions swiftly and direct the team effectively without prolonged discussions or input from others. This approach is essential in a crisis where time is of the essence.
Peter is the manager of the production section of a faux holiday tree supply company. In the weeks leading up to the holidays, his section produces about 10,000 trees to be sold in retail shops and online. However, this year, the company’s sales division made a major deal, and the company will have to produce an additional 20,000 units under a very tight deadline. To deal with the crisis, make quick decisions, and get the trees produced on time, what managerial style would work BEST for Peter?
