The document discusses five main management styles: autocratic, persuasive, consultative, participative, and laissez-faire. The autocratic style involves strict top-down control where the manager makes all decisions without input from employees. The persuasive style is similar but managers attempt to convince employees of decisions. The consultative style involves managers consulting with employees but making the final decision. The participative style allows employees to be part of the decision-making process. Finally, the laissez-faire style gives employees full control over decisions with little guidance from managers.
