C
The permissive or laissez-faire management style allows employees to make decisions, formulate plans, set goals, and manage the organization. This manager does not require accountability from the staff. Although seemingly ideal, because of the amount of accountability placed on health-care providers by legislation, this style is not effective in a medical environment.
