However, your general behavioral traits will change from situation to situation and may evolve over time. You have control over your behaviors.

- Democratic
- The democratic manager will have a tendency to seek input from coworkers and employees in the decision-making process. Although this person maintains the authority in making decisions, they tend to rely on the creativity of others in that process.

- The style of management that is being used with an individual
- The style of management that the individual will best respond to
