Ask HN: Founders what is your management style?
- Authoritarian style. The founder alone makes decisions and is dismissive of employees.
- Democratic style. The founder coordinates the goals with the employees. Decisions are made jointly with the team. Informal communication with the team is the norm.
- Liberal style. The founder avoids making decisions. The team is informed about something or only if they themselves ask.
I looked at myself through this prism and realized that my style is not authoritarian for sure, since I trust the tasks and solutions to the team members. Otherwise, why hire people for a team who you don't trust and don't let you do your job? I do not dismiss the team. The liberal style is more likely not to a greater extent, since I do not avoid making decisions, but I felt that I was communicating with the team in a metered manner. I think this is a point of growth - now I will pay more attention to it and become better.
As a result, I defined myself more in a democratic management style.
How do co-founders with different management styles work together? Are they getting along or is it hard? Or do they not work at all? What is your management style?
