Briefly define the difference between authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire leadership styles

What will be an ideal response


Authoritarian leaders dominate the group; they provide the structure, make the decisions, and stay detached from participation unless making decisions. Democratic leaders discuss policy decisions with group members, decisions are made by consensus, and the leader facilitates and influences without bulldozing the group. A laissez faire leader is hands off, only providing structure or information when asked to do so.
