Which leadership style is characterized by giving complete freedom to group members to make decisions and complete tasks without leader intervention?

Explanation

• Laissez-faire (delegative) leadership is a hands-off approach where the leader grants complete operational autonomy to team members to make decisions and execute work.
• While highly effective with highly competent, self-motivated professionals, it can cause poor coordination among inexperienced teams.
• ‘Laissez-faire’ translates from French as ‘let it be’ or ‘allow to do’. Contrast it with Autocratic (authoritarian) and Democratic (participative).
