Your answer is incorrect.
Autocratic leaders have a dictatorial or authoritarian style of management and have a high degree of
concern for the task at hand. However, as they are so focused on getting the work done at any cost,
they show very little concern for their staff members and the pressure this may place on them. As
far as these managers are concerned, the employees are merely a means to an end and only through
the proper organisation of work systems (and, ultimately, through the elimination of people) will the
organisation be efficient. It goes without saying that this managerial style often leads to an
increase in output, but at the cost of higher employee turnover.
Refer to page 89 of the study guide.

how information is encoded into our memory. This theory describes how we filter information, what
we focus our attention on and what gets stored as a short- or long-term memory. It involves the
processes of thinking, logical reasoning, recognition, problem-solving, perceptions and even
