Authoritarian. It is a group leadership style characterized by individual control over all decisions and little input from group members (they typically make choices based on their ideas/judgments and rarely accept advice from followers). Involving absolute, authoritarian control over a group. It is a term related to the concentration of power in a leader not constitutionally responsible to the people (an authoritarian regime). Examples of this kind of leadership include Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin.
