The nurse-manager tends to make most unit decisions without consulting the nursing staff. Which word best describes this style of leadership?
1. Authoritarian
2. Situational
3. Transformational
4. Laissez-faire
Correct Answer: 1
In authoritarian leadership, the leader makes decisions for the group. In situational leadership, levels of direction and support vary according to the level of maturity of the employees or group. Transformational leadership focuses on preparing people for change. Laissez-faire leadership is nondirectional, is characterized by inactivity or passivity, and is permissive with few commands, questions, criticisms, or suggestions.
