The chair of a hospital committee acts as a facilitator and provides constructive criticism, information, and suggestions. Which style of leadership does this represent?

1. Authoritarian
2. Transformational
3. Democratic
4. Laissez-faire


Correct Answer: 3

In democratic, or participative, leadership, the leader seeks the participation or consultation of subordinates in decision-making, actively guiding the group toward achieving the group goals. This type of leaders provides constructive criticism, offers information, makes suggestions, and asks questions. In authoritarian leadership, the leader makes decisions for the 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.
