Evaluate each of the characteristics of communications.

What will be an ideal response?


(1) Autocratic Communications - it can be issued with relative ease, since concurrence by those affected is not sought. They have the advantage of speed and are well adapted to emergency conditions. They have the disadvantage of arbitrariness. 
(2) Democratic Communications - it is easy to understand. It permits the development of ideas and enables those affected by decisions to participate in making them. Information readily passes in both directions, making it simple for supervisors to keep informed of activities under them. This type lacks the speed and directness of those that are autocratic, and while they hold the greatest promise for success in most normal operations, supervisors will find that they must forgo consultation with their subordinates when speed of operations is essential.
(3) Free Rein Communications - it provides for a minimum of contacts, thereby leaving subordinates without a realization of the benefits of two-way communications. As a consequence, misunderstandings, misapprehensions, and mistakes flourish. Supervisors are well advised to adjust their communications to the setting in which they occur. Each type has its place and none should be employed to the exclusion of others. The type most appropriate for one set of circumstances might be totally inappropriate under other conditions.
