As we have already said, the head needs a comprehensive approach to the issue of shaping the entire management system. In this regard, it is conceptually important to determine the state of such areas as management style and specific tools for its implementation. Let’s start with the style itself.

Management style is a portrait of the boss that subordinates should see in front of them. We should note at once that there is no “pure” leadership style in nature, since in practice the manifestations of each of them “mix” into a single whole, demonstrating the individual approach of the head to interaction. However, the scientific practice has identified three main (clearly distinguishable) leadership styles [8]:

– Authoritarian. This style is usually associated with a tough head who works solely for results and excludes the appearance of formal friendships or other relationships. In an authoritarian style, the head is tough, disloyal, somewhat conflicted, and threatening, seeking to instill fear in employees to ensure the effectiveness of certain tasks, to order or point out what “should” rather than “must” be done. The effectiveness of the authoritarian style is conditioned by the specific situation; as many years of practice show, the leader-dictator, if he is competent, can bring the company to a new level, but is not able to make the team healthy, to direct it to a good atmosphere and mutual assistance [4].
