Morphology
monocratic + leadership + style
The phrase is fully compositional: 'monocratic' (rule by a single leader) modifies 'leadership' (exercise of directing people) and 'style' (manner), so the overall meaning — a manner of leadership concentrated in one leader — is directly derivable from the parts. This follows a standard adjective + noun + noun composition and is cross-linguistically predictable, so a learner who knows the constituent words can understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun monocratic leadership style comes from the part mono meaning 'one' and describes a system where a single person makes most decisions. Picture one person holding the steering wheel while others watch, and that's why it means 'power and decision-making are held by one leader'.
