Question 17: ExplainLaissez-Faire Leadership”. 

Laissez-faire leadership, also known as delegative leadership, is a type of leadership style in which leaders are hands-off and allow group members to make the decisions. Researchers have found that this is generally the leadership style that leads to the lowest productivity among group members.1 However, it is important to recognize that this leadership style can have both benefits and possible pitfalls. There are also certain settings and situations where a laissez-faire leadership style might be the most appropriate. Knowing your dominant leadership style can be helpful for understanding your own strengths and potential weakness.

Characteristics of Laissez-Faire Leadership

Laissez-faire leadership is characterized by the following:

Hands-off approach

Leaders provide all training and support

Decisions are left to employees

Comfortable with mistakes

Accountability falls to the leader

While the conventional term for this style is “laissez-faire” and implies a completely hands-off approach, many leaders still remain open and available to group members for consultation and feedback. They might provide direction at the beginning of a project, but then allow group members to do their jobs with little oversight.
