Participative

=​__Participative Style__=

This style is when management joins together with the staff to make a group decision. A participative style is similar to the consultative style but it takes one more step with involving staff instead of only asking them. It is characterised by:
 * The setting of goals and the making of decisions by the group.
 * The showing of substantial faith and trust in staff.
 * The organisation of tasks and sub teams largely in the control of the group.
 * The decentralization of power with defined limits.
 * The full participation by managment in a group decision making process.
 * The delivery of praise in terms of work results.
 * The support of a person being criticized.
 * Motivation based in part on staffs feelings of worth, importance and achievement.

Pro ​ The style is of seen as one of the most valid.

Con This can be seen as insufficient for bringing about necessary change. Management may appear to lack strength and vision which may lead to insecurity among staff.
