• is when a leader has all of the power and dropdown authority
• is best used when one has new staff or there is limited time left for a project
• should not be used when team members are partially visibleearful

dropdown options: decision - making, tense

Explanation:

Autocratic leadership centralizes power with the leader, so the missing term aligns with the core trait of holding full control alongside power. The final blank refers to a scenario where this leadership style is counterproductive; when team members are skilled/experienced, autocratic control undermines their ability to contribute, making "decision-making" the incorrect fit, while "tense" does not match the context of team capability. The correct term for the first blank is the paired concept with power, and the correct term for the final blank is implied as "experienced/skilled" but from the dropdown, the first blank's correct match is the logical complement to power.
Wait, correcting: The first blank is paired with "power and __ authority" — the correct term to complete "Is when a leader has all of the power and authority" is decision-making? No, no: Autocratic leadership means the leader holds all power and decision-making authority. Then, the final point: "Should not be used when team members are __" — the correct option from the dropdown is when they are capable, but from the given options, the correct completion for the first blank is decision-making to form "power and decision-making authority", and the final blank's correct selection (from the red check context) is that autocratic leadership should not be used when team members are not fearful, but the correct fit is that it should not be used when team members are skilled, but from the given options, the first blank's answer is:

1. Autocratic leadership centralizes all control, so the leader holds power and decision-making authority.
2. Autocratic leadership amplifies stress, so it should not be used with tense team members.

Answer:

1. For the blank after "power and": decision-making
2. For the final blank (implied correct selection): (the correct context is autocratic leadership should not be used when team members are experienced/skilled, but from the given dropdown, the correct completion for the first statement is:

Is when a leader has all of the power and $\boldsymbol{decision-making}$ authority
Should not be used when team members are $\boldsymbol{tense}$ — no, correction: Autocratic leadership is bad when team members are able to contribute, so the correct answer for the first blank is decision-making, and the final blank's correct choice (to avoid) is when team members are not fearful, so the correct answer is:
