Leadership styles used by Mackey in WFM
There are three Leadership styles used by Mackey in WFM that are Democratic, Bureaucratic and Free Reign.

This a rule in WFM to select employee, no one can break this rule and get a full time job without 2/3 support of the team members.
Effects:
*To get full time job in WFM new employee will show his maximum productivity to get 2/3 vote from the team members.
*Only employees with good performance will get the full time position in WFM.
Advantages of using bureaucratic

Disadvantages of using bureaucratic
