Leadership Style of Bill Gates

Microsoft current leaders are Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer. Steve Ballmer became a CEO on the year 2000. Steve Ballmer is an autocratic leader because he does not communicate or take advices from his employees. For example, when they were designing the Microsoft Surface, Steve Ballmer did not put any ideas inside and when someone gave an idea he then disagrees. Whereas Bill Gates is a democratic leader because he took the Paul Allen’s advices and ideas of the company name and also the company objectives which had helped Microsoft grow throughout the years. For example when Bill Gates was in Harvard and Paul Allen was in MIT. He had gone to Albuquerque just to establish Micro-soft and then later on he had changed it to Microsoft. Paul Allen is a Laissez faire leader because he had given Bill Gates the choice to stay in Harvard or to come to him at Albuquerque and start making BASIC interpreters together.
