Style 3 - Laissez-Faire

Laissez-Faire 

Laissez-faire style is where the leader's involvement in decision-making, and hence allowing people to make their own decisions, although they may still be responsible for the outcome.



A person may be in a leadership position without providing leadership, leaving the group to fend for itself. Subordinates are given a free hand in deciding their own policies and methods. This can sometimes be a positive leadership style if workers are responsible and self-starting and do not require a lot of supervision. In this situation employees may enjoy a laissez-faire style of a leader.

Note: Laissez Faire (or lais·ser faire) is the noninterference in the affairs of others. (French : laissez, second person pl. imperative of laisser, to let, allow + faire, to do.)
