The autocratic- democratic leadership model was developed from Theory X and Theory Y Douglas Mc Gregor.Theory X assumes that the work is not natural to people and claims that people need to be steadily directed.They lack the desire for responsibility, are not creative and have no desire to solve the business problem, are motivated by money, and safety is above all. On the other hand, theory y assumes that people are creative, and that they are not strictly controlled if they are properly motivated. Theory X provides the guiding model according to which the leader presents as a stubborn autocrate that supports firm control by applying a system of punishment.By contrast, Theoryy provides a democratic model of leadership by which the leader is benevolent and participatory with the conviction of selfcontrol of the employees.McGregor believed that the assumptions of Y theory best demonstrated the true nature of the worker and that they should be guidelines in management practice, ie, he was advocating for a new human relatonship between management and employees.It is obvious that theory Y has the same goal as H- motivating people to achieve company goals.The difference is that theory Y seeks to achieve this in a more humane way, respecting the personality of the worker.
