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

leaders discuss policy decisions with group members, decisions are made by consensus,
and the leader is more a facilitator than a directive leader. A laissez faire leader is hands
off, only providing structure or information when asked to do so.
