Feedback:
The leadership style with the least structure is laissez-faire leadership. This leader has loosely structured goals, with no firm guidelines. Autocratic leadership is self-directed; this style calls for little or no input from staff. Bureaucratic leadership is policy-minded. Bureaucratic leaders rely on established protocols for decision making. Democratic leadership is people-oriented and tries to guide staff in the right direction.
