What is Centralised and Decentralised Leadership

Innovation and Resource Management Strategies for Startups Development
Two unique methods of allocating power and decision-making within an organisation or group are centralization and decentralisation of leadership. A key characteristic of centralised leadership is the concentration of authority at the highest levels, which a single leader or a small group frequently controls. With the help of this model's top-down decision-making process, policies may be implemented effectively and consistently. While it clarifies the hierarchy, when decision-makers are overworked or unavailable, it can cause bottlenecks.
