The nurse manager is giving a presentation on the disadvantages of democratic leadership in group functioning. Which statement shows an understanding of this type of leadership?
a. "Requires more time and effort to make decisions and accomplish goals"
b. "Discourages participation from quieter members of the group"
c. "Increases the possibility of "scapegoat-ing" or argumentative behavior"
d. "Is difficult to control the outcomes and decisions of the group"
A
Because of the encouragement of participation in decision making and the democratic leader-ship's emphasis on group function, decision making becomes more involved with consensus and is less timely. Democratic leadership encourages group participation and works to reduce any type of scapegoating behavior among members because everyone has equal voice. The group democratically makes decisions and determines outcomes that are not controlled by management.
