Laissez-faire Leadership
French for leave-to-do, this leadership style makes the broad objectives of
the business known to employees, but they are left to make their own
decisions and do their own work.
Democratic Leadership
This will get employees involved in the decision-making process. Discussions
will be had before a conclusion is made and a decision reached.
