Commandement autocratique : L'autorité est extérieure au groupe; elle est entre les mains du chef, de l'animateur ou du responsable. C'est lui qui inspire ses décisions. Cela conduit à une apathie sans agressivité marquée, elle se développe s'il vient à s'absenter. 1, record 2, French, - commandement%20autocratique

Méthode autocratique. L'animateur qui utilise cette méthode (...) propose de manière définitive et plus ou moins directe la solution qu'il a lui-même envisagée. (...) Des cadres définis, des points particuliers sont imposés par l'animateur comme sujets de discussion. L'animateur tient la discussion en mains (...) 5, record 2, French, - commandement%20autocratique
