Which scenarios demonstrate a participative style of leadership? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,D,F
Rationale
Participative leadership demonstrates an 'in-between' style, neither authoritarian nor democratic. In participative leadership, the manager presents an analysis of problems and proposals for actions to team members, inviting critique and comments. The participative leader then analyzes the comments and makes the final decision. The autocratic style of leadership is task oriented and directive. A laissez-faire leader abdicates leadership and responsibilities, allowing staff to work without assistance, direction, or supervision. The democratic style of leadership involves a majority rule.
